The month of March was quite eventful for us. At the beginning of the month, we moved out of our old apartment following the Chinese New Year holiday. We moved with our friends John and Megan, to an apartment in the same compound, but one building over. Though it was not a huge change in location, it was a huge change in our living situation.
Our new apartment has 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms (we have a room dedicated to all of the studio equipment!!). It has been fully remodeled and has all new appliances. The kitchen is all new and beautiful. We have a nice balcony and a space for laundry, which sure beats a porch flooded by the washing machine. It is truly a step up for us and has helped relieve some of the stress of living in a different country. We have truly been blessed by God to have this opportunity of a new and wonderful home.

In the midst of moving here in Shanghai, we were also searching for new tenants for our house in the US. We were very behind on payments and were in a bad situation, and desperately needed to take steps to improve our circumstances. After a few weeks of screening tenants and getting our house cleaned up, our parents helped hold an Open House for us. With their guidance and discernment, we were able to find a new tenant.
The most awesome part of it all is that she is a Christian and is very excited about the work we are doing here. She has already shown great care and concern for our home and has even helped us with having the carpet replaced. We feel confident that she is the right person to live in our home and that she will take care of it for us.
We are so thankful for all of God's blessings as we have persevered through trials of our own. We are thankful for all of your prayers and support as we live so far and communicate quite infrequently. We are grateful for how we have grown through all of our experiences and excited about what lies ahead.
With Love,
The Ures
