We need some more prayers for a place to live. Someone responded to our advert in the seeking accommodation section of the local newspaper, showed us around this 2 bedroom apartment that was part of a hotel staff house. We had arranged to share it with a couple of guys from the church, decided who was sleeping where and even gave the house a name. So we were going to sign the lease yesterday but she emailed us saying that some staff members had come up to her and asked her for the apartment at the last minute so she gave it to them. So its been a big disappointment, and we feel we are back where we started. We are staying at an apartment temporarily, but that ends on Thursday, and we don't have any leads on anything else. We are still faithful that God will provide a place for us.

I am also struggling to find a job. I lost my job at esquires for going to Banff for the Sfc leaders conference, even though they said that they were fine with it. When i came back, they just told me that had hired 2 other people and that i didn't work there anymore. So i have been handing out CV's/resumes in town, but nothing has come up yet.

So it feels like nothing is really working out. I knew that it wouldn't be easy sailing, and that when nothing works out, you don't just give up and have to persevere. Its actually an awesome position to be in as we have to lean heavily on God, and trust that he will come through for us in his timing.

God bless,
Jonny
