Making the caravan our home


This past year we have been living in an beautiful apartement on the top floor overwieing the roofs and the acropolis of Limenas. It's been a big and nice apartment, good for hosting friends and family.
But it's not ours for much longer... In two weeks we are moving out.

What it looks like right now we will from September on sleep in our caravan and use the church in the daytime.
The caravan is not much like a home at the time so this coming week we will have lots to do. But it's fun. We're not sure what it all will look like in the end but somehow I belive God will help us put everything in order. We have to fit our stuff in the church with the things allready going on there, decide what to bring to the camper and our cat has to learn to live with a bunch of more or less wild cats that already lives at Pelidis house.
Trying to figure out how to fix the heating system.

The caravan has been at our pastor Dimitris house since we came here. It's for some time been used as a music studio where Michalis have had his drumes. The kids also slept there some nights. Some time ago Kenneth together with Michalis was starting to empty it to make more space.
Now we want to make it a bit more isolated and nicer so we have been emptying the last bits and tomorrow when the stores are open again we will go to find material- something for the floor, isolation, wood and paint. Have to go with the flow and use what is a available to a resonable price.
Then when we fixed that we will put cupbords, bed, table back again and make it our home.

I'm sad that you have to move out of your sweet apartment, but I know you'll make a lovely home in the caravan! I heart you!
