We live about 45 minutes from the church Scot pastors. We were fine driving back and forth, but the church asked would it help if they added a small apartment to the church for us to stay in on Sunday afternoons. Yesterday was our first Sunday afternoon to enjoy this beautiful apartment. They designed it to where if we should need to spend the night or shower, we could. It's one big room with a bed, desk, sofa bed, 2 recliners, night stand, and lamps. We are going to also add a book shelf, chest, and possibly a TV. There is a bathroom with a tub/shower combo and a nice size closet for linens and clothes. Mrs. Dotty and Mrs. Barbara took me shopping for the furniture and the other things needed for the rooms week before last. I cannot even begin to tell you how much fun I had! I was like a kid in a candy store! We had a budget to go by and we purchased beautiful things and stayed under the budget! I was pleased with the day...I honestly was expecting for it to take ALL day long, but by lunch, we were almost finished! We had purchased furniture which was delivered by the time we got back from shopping, sheets, towels, blankets, a comforter set, shower curtain and accessories, decorations, mirrors, etc. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at O' Charlies. The day was simply marvelous! One night last week, some of us met and arranged all the furniture and got the rooms ready for us to stay in yesterday. We enjoyed our 'lazy' afternoon very much. What a blessing this apartment will be to us and also to visiting evangelists and missionaries for many years to come. God will surely bless the church family for being so thoughtful and for taking such good care of us.

Liesa, the room is beautiful. I'm so proud for y'all. It will make your Sunday's so much more relaxing I know. What a blessing that you have such a happy little family. Some families I know with kids your age don't have the priviledge of the kids WANTING to be with them. You have some sweet kids!

God bless. And thanks for sharing all the great pictures! You did a good job of decorating.

This is awesome! What a blessing! When we serve Him...it comes back to us "pressed down, shaken together and running over".

So happy for you!
