The best news of the week!! WE HAVE BEEN APPROVED FOR A FLAT
IN COWRA!! We have a nice flat in Orange – but as you can see, it is just a bit
too far from where we have been assigned to serve. It is not the flat that I told you we looked
at in the last letter. We liked the flat
and thought it would be perfect for us – but Heavenly Father had something
better prepared for us.
Sunday, 17 March, the
Branch Presidents wife told us that her daughter works at one of the property
management companies in Cowra. She
talked with her daughter and learned that they had a couple of flats for rent
and that we should go check them out.
The next day, Monday, 18 March we were certain we would hear on the first flat we
saw, but by the late afternoon, when no word came we decided we had better get
an appointment to see the other flats.
We were told we had to fill out an application first and then they would
show us. Again, we were certain that by
the next day we would hear on the first and there would be no reason to spend
time looking at another flat. But Monday
came and went and no word.
So, Tuesday
morning 19 March we filled out the application and drove to Cowra. We drove by the 2 flats and decided we were
only interested in one of them. We even
spoke to the first property management company and they told us they were still
waiting to hear for approval from the owner.
But once again we decided maybe we better go see the other flat. When we turned in the application within an
hour they met us at the flat we decided we had better see just because… We discovered that this flat was so much
better! Within less than 24 hours we had
approval for the second flat – the flat we almost did not go see!
We came to know that Heavenly Father is in the details and he had something even better for us. We are waiting now for them to set up the
account with the Church for the rent payment; and for the Senior Missionary in
charge of flats to come down and sign the paperwork on Tuesday and then we will
have the key to a place in Cowra.
On Monday, 1April, appliances were delivered to our
new flat and by Tuesday most of what we needed was in – but since the bed was
still in Orange we continued to drive back each night to sleep. Finally, on Thursday 4 April the bed and other
furniture arrived in Cowra. The Senior
Elder in charge of Flats in our mission delivered loads of IKEA furniture and
since we are not very handy not to mention we do not have any tools; I sent out
an SOS on the Cowra Branch Facebook Messenger group. We receive lots of help and tools and got
everything put together. We finally slept in our bed in Cowra tonight!
