In Search of: a house
Many of you have heard me say that everything is harder in a 3rd world country. It feels doubly hard now to us as we continue our search for a home. We had a place lined up and even sent money for the deposit and first months of rent only to have that possibility close. We continue our search. So what does the search look like? In America, a real estate agent holds the keys to houses that are for sale or for rent and the MLS book gives an at-a-glance look at what is available. What if you had to find a house without a MLS? That is our situation. The real estate agents here do not have centralized communication so there are three ways to find a house: by luck through driving around, by word of mouth through friends, or by published ads in the paper. We have spent hours driving neighborhoods looking, searching, and not finding. Now throw three kids in the mix after driving neighborhoods for hours. Yeah, you know what I mean. So the search continues. Please pray for us!
Ministry wise, Danielle is 3 weeks from starting school and Scott is beginning the initial stages of starting up a new ministry and trying to keep up with studies on the side. We covet your prayers.
Side note: How you know your kids are missionary kids. Zac said yesterday that he liked Dairy
Queen better than McDonalds because DQ has winter storms. Danielle and I said “what?” Winter storms. Danielle began laughing hysterically. I still didn’t get it. Zac didn’t want a “winter storm”, he wanted a “Blizzard.”
Hello all! We miss and love you guys! Life is not quite the same around here without Zac popping in and out. I loved the “winter storm”. I can’t wait to tell Gene and Cameron. We will continue to pray for your search for a house, Danielle’s start to school, and Scott’s preparations. Believe it or not, Scott, I found myself praying for you guys during your “struggle” to enjoy Mexico. Hee I told you that you would be on your own those few days, and I just couldn’t do it. I hope you had a relaxing and enjoyable time there. Please keep us posted, and we’ll continue to pray. Again, we love you guys. Take care of each other. Jane and crew
Scott,
Sorry to hear about the difficulty. We will pray accordingly. Also, the Winter Storm is great! Let us know if we can be of help.

Scott-Eric and Office Staff enjoyed the Blog today. Sandy especially appreciated Zac’s desire for a “Winter Storm”. We are praying for your house.
So good to hear from you! We were ready to write and ask what we were doing wrong that we couldn’t access news since your departure. Wish we could send you all a “winter storm.” With our love and prayers – Heath and Norma.
I’d like a winter storm AND a blizzard, Zack! You gotta love MKs!
Great idea! I love hearing from you and this is a direct way to let us know how to pray…so, for now, it’s a HOUSE!
Scott and Dani-
We are praying for your house. I know this must be a stressful time so we are lifting you up. Keep us updated as to how we can pray for you.
We love you,
The Selbhers

Abby,
Hi! Is it fun there in Paraguay? I miss you. School starts in 2 weeks and I still don’t know which class I’m in. Do you have an e-mail address that I can have? We forgot to get it before you moved. If you can e-mail my mom your address I will mail you something. Bye!
Hannah!
We are praying for you all! I hope that school is going well for everyone. We are praying that God will provide for you the perfect house to share God’s love—miss you guys!
Hi Scott!
