Houses And Other Encumbrances

Today we have our 6 properties, and from the moment we conceived of going on our mission sooner rather than waiting, our goal has been to lessen the load.

That means either selling or renting out all of them.

We have no idea how long this mission will last - 12 months to 4 years, probably at least 18 months. So we have no business owning several domiciles and the huge bills and responsibilities that are part of owning properties.

We put the land on the market some time ago, and now we have this Anacortes house for sale and also the Tucson Sallee Place home for sale. We have been successful in getting renters where we weren't able to sell, or the timing was wrong to sell. So we're making progress.

The Anacortes house is being shown tomorrow and looks great (except for the lawn, which is only partly mowed due to rain).

Our goal hasn't changed. We report to church headquarters for training in 4 1/2 months. There's still time!

If the Anacortes house sells quickly, which it could - this market is not like the supersaturated Tucson one - then we will possibly see if we can start our mission sooner. We'll cross that bridge when the time comes.

We would consider ourselves very blessed to have the land and Sallee Place house sell. What a relief that would be!

Your prayers and positive expectations are welcome!

I'm sure that the Anacortes house will sell soon-- and don't worry too much about the Tucson market-- right now it may be disastrous-- but it's already showing signs of picking up... which is why *we're* in a hurry :)
