4 days...

These past few days have been very busy with a lot of work. We are now just 4 days away from boarding our plane in Düsseldorf. But before we get there, there are quite a few things that must take place.

PACKING

Today we have officially finished packing up the house. Yesterday we had another amazing work crew to help us pack up everything up and move it to the church. We had another crew cleaning up the house. What a blessing it was to have our dear friends help us out with all of these details. One of the major pieces of furniture that we needed to pack up was our kitchen. You see, here in Germany, you actually buy your own kitchen and then pretty much take that kitchen with you wherever you move. That is unless the next renters want to buy your kitchen from you. So before we started to pack up the kitchen, one of my friends asked if the next people moving in would want to buy it. We were not sure, but we did know who they were and the general area of where they lived, so we went to go look for their house and see if they were interested. Well, we ended up finding their house and then found out that they would be coming home later in the day. Later on in the day, the wife came by and checked out the kitchen and said that she liked it very much, but that she would have to talk with her husband and then they would leave an answer for us in our mailbox this morning. So this morning we checked our mailbox and saw that they were interested. I then went to their house and let her husband know that he could come and check it out. He then came by, we discussed some details about the kitchen and then the price for it. He ended up only offering a lower amount, which was too low for us. So there was no deal.
Then as a little time went by, I decided that I would stop by his house once again and see if he would be willing to go a little higher. He did! So we didn't get the total amount that we wanted, but I do believe that it is a good price! So we sold our kitchen today! That was a huge relief. I will be picking up the cash from him tomorrow.

DETAILS

We still have a few details that are before us tomorrow. De-registering from Herborn, stopping by the hospital to pay a bill for my parents, our visa renewal appointment, and then meet with the owner of the apartment to do a walk-through. Please do be praying for this walk-through with the owner. Pray that everything goes smoothly and that he will even allow us NOT to pay our rent (830 Euros) for the month of November.

BIRTHDAY

Tomorrow our Aliyah Grace Roper will be turning FIVE YEARS OLD! We cannot believe it! So in the midst of all that we already have to do, we are still wanting to make the day special for her. Although it will be ok, because on Saturday we are going to have a little birthday party with her friends in Düsseldorf (the Coronel kids).
