House Hunt Continues.


Just look at this Property Dealer's sign. Joe pointed out three things about this sign that don't fit in Delhi.
1. Houses don't look anything like that here.
2. You never see yards like that in the city. (if you even see a yard at all!)
3. The sky's of the city are never quite that clear thanks to the smog.

In fact, here is a picture of the first house we were shown this last week.
 Looks just like the picture on the rental sign doesn't it?! 

Update on our House Hunt: We have spent the better part of the week on the hunt. We have a great national guy, G, who is helping us with all the property dealers. G is such a blessing. He's from the area and so he knows all the ins and outs that we don't have a clue about. 
In the last couple of days, we've seen some really interesting places. By interesting I mean...
-one with a giant hole overlooking the downstairs neighbor's bedroom
-one with no western toilets (I draw the line here!)
-one with no doors or cabinets
-one on the very top floor of the complex with no air conditioner
-one with the living room rented out to someone else
You get the idea.
BUT we have found one that might work. It's super cute and colorful. Plus it's brand new! We'd be the first to live in it :) The landlord is an extremely nice gentleman that speaks English really well. (A huge blessing!) The reason I say might is because he was originally planning to sell it, but he is considering just renting it. He's supposed to let us know his decision tomorrow. 
We are asking the Father to give us wisdom on this house. 

This is a picture of our auto driver stopping for gas after a long day of house hunting.

This is Joe talking with G about another house option while we are at the gas station waiting.
(please notice that sign behind him)
