We're moving!

The top right apartment is our.
The house is beginning to echo as we walk around! The boxes are adding up and things are finding various piles to join. Happy to go through our belongings and sort out what we don't need. Everyone should do this from time to time - it brings healing to the soul and a possibility to bless others, or just to have the pleasure to throw things away.
Having been on a waiting list for over a year, when we finally got a phone call about an apartment it was such a "God-thing" . We wanted something close to the centre of town but not right in it - so our apartment is 7 minutes walk from the centre, situated in a very quiet part of town. It is also close to Caleb's school (for the next school year starting in August) and close to the bus and train station for Joshua to continue at his school in Ljungskile.
The apartment is a double storey of 112 m2, 5 rooms and a kitchen (Swedish specs.) two bathrooms and a parking area. Communal laundry and our own storage space.

We are excited that finally we can become more involved with the ministries in Uddevalla. It has been inspiring and challenging to identify the areas of ministry both for ourselves and for future involvement of teams. At this point the churches in Uddevalla are continuing to grow in unity - and it is a testimony to what is possible when Jesus is proclaimed as Lord in ecumenical relationships. This unity is not only among the leadership, but is starting to filter down to members. Our part in this will be through various projects to reach the youth of the city as well as being involved in one of the Bible/discipleship schools. We remain with YWAM, but can be considered as "field workers" in Sweden. Teaching is still our priority and we teach wherever we are invited :)

Moving the last week of February - will let you know how things go and post some photos when we're in :)
