Housing

I think we may have finally found housing. Yay! We have spent the last two days viewing houses for rent, negotiating the prices, and deciding on going with an unfurnished house or a furnished house. Furnished houses typically come with a couch, chairs, dining room table and chairs, and sometimes pots, pans, and dishes. Some of these houses are taken quickly by others, so if we are too slow in our decision-making, we may lose it. Also, some landlords change their prices once they see that it is a car-load of white people or "muzungus" coming to see the house... of course, they raise the price since all white people are wealthy in their minds! Nonetheless, I think we may have found both a house for the new female teachers currently here and one for the new male teachers. It is difficult to decide together, since we may prioritize different things. For example, I care most about living close to the school in order to avoid taking transportation each day to and from the school. I don't mind living further away from the shopping centres, as we would only need to go there 1 or 2 times a week. Other people care more about a variety of different things...It makes for a sometimes stressful decision-making process! Please pray for peace and unity among one another, as we will be living with each other for the next 10 or 11 months. God has brought us together for a reason and I want to seek His will in each and every decision.
