Our Entre Rios Move Nov. 1st - Nov. 4th

So we are finally here in Entre Rios. It was a lot of work packing, moving, and fixing up the house. But we are finally done...somewhat. When we arrived the house was a disaster. The pictures do not even demonstrate how bad it really was. There was so many things on the walls and floors we could not identify. But after 4 days of cleaning, painting, cleaning and scrubbing it is now comfortable enough to live in. There are still a few fixes needed...like screens in the windows, doors need fixed, window put in the bathroom (only a sheet is there now) and a wall fixed for leaks. But at least it is clean and we feel comfortable. Bella is doing great. She loves all the space, but I think she misses running up the poles in our other place. We went in service yesterday and had a great day. I have a possibility for 3 studies. We had such a nice time. The group here is so nice and really helpful. I think we are going to love it here.

Hoagie sad that we are moving

We had to back up so this truck could pass.
 
Bella was not happy, but was quiet and good the entire 3 hours.

  1. Amazing transformation!What effort, elbow grease and time can do! You're kitchen and bath are the most outstanding transformations from the looks of the pictures. I'm sure you're going to be happier with the larger space. Keep up the great work! Jehovah is already blessing your efforts to make yourselves available to expand your service to him! Many of us wish our circumstances allowed us to imitate your example. Disfruta su accignación!

  2. You're 'new' kitchen is actually a bit better than the makeshift one I have in my remodel project house here in Tennessee - kudos for your determination and ingenuity! Hope all those studies don't keep you from your home chores Justin (not!)...
