Sitting with Ruth

"Sit still, my daughter, until thou know how the matter will fall.." Ruth 3: 18

We are REALLY excited to see what the Lord is planning. We spent this weekend scouting out a town that we are considering moving to. Puyo seems to be what we were hoping from the research we had done. It is large enough to have good internet and a tiny university. It is a market center for a fairly large area, as it is the first "large" (20,000 people?) town you come to coming out of the jungle. There seems to be a legitimate need for the literature and Bible Study we hope to bring with us, as it does not seem like there is a lot of work already being done there. There are a few believers there, but they are fairly isolated.  (Case in point, as we were passing out tracts Saturday, a man we had passed several streets back chased us down after reading the tract to find out where we were from and who we were with. He was a believer who was very happy to talk about the Lord's things on the sidewalk with our friend Wilson for probably 20 minutes.)

In order to move, we need:

 internet for Taylor's job - at least what searching we have done seems to indicate that it will be adequate.

a house - on our first walk around the town we found one for rent that seems to have much of what we were looking for. (Me and my not liking to wait like Ruth...I am trying not to be anxious that someone else will rent it...I believe my man when he tells me, "If the Lord wants us to rent it, it will still be there when we need it", but this sitting still thing is HARD!)

an acceptable place to have this baby - we made same day e-mail contact with a Dr. at the mission hospital that is less than 20 min. away, and are very pleased with what he told us. The facilities are very good, there are two gen. practice physicians there...AND a nurse midwife!

Last, it would be very beneficial if we had a vehicle before we moved - and today...we got an offer for our van we left for sale in the States for enough to finish off what we need to buy a truck here. Things are looking excitingly hopeful! Pray with us as we wait to "know how the matter will fall"?
