Later in April 2015… Dr John indicated that an initial commitment of three years was needed to complete the proposed transmission project. This was longer than we had thought - but made sense in hindsight as we needed time to learn a new language and culturally adjust to then be useful! The engineering scope to build a network was big too, and it is hard to know how long it would take.
It was a searching time – life here suddenly looked different. God put choices in front of us and we had to choose to trust in the unknown or rest here in short term certainty.
Chris had unexpected changes at work at his management level. Were things looking better? Should we stay now?
We began to complain about our living arrangements (which were a squeeze for us) and were unexpectedly offered a plan to “have” a house! With all the space we could ever want! But Peru didn’t fit into the timeframe if we wanted it. Should we take it?
We believe now God had given us a choice i.e. he was testing us. We didn’t even have to discuss it though, our hearts said “no”. God had placed Peru in our hearts and we could see how quickly that dream had become bigger than our old dreams. Soon after without conveying this to anyone else, the offer for the bigger house was withdrawn!
Blessings, Sandi
