We Finally Made It!!!

Well here we are. We pulled into Ava, Missouri about 3 weeks ago. "What???" I can hear you saying now.... Why haven't you posted? Well let me start at the beginning.

We have a piece of land in Ava that is about 4 acres. It is outside of the town of Ava approximately 5 miles (Boonies basically). We tried to get phone connection, but they say that will take about 3 more weeks. We are so remote that we actually have to get in the van in order to make calls on the cell phone (We lose connection about 1/2 mile from the property!) So no Dial up (Perhaps a blessing! LOL!!!)

Ok...next we call a company about radio transmitted DSL. They came out and did a test only to find that we are too far down in the valley to have a signal to town. The phone company doesn't offer DSL by the way, so no DSL.

Being that cable doesn't run out here...no cable (although that would be nice to be running at 2000 MBPS and up). But that doesn't look like an option either. So what are we to do? Well, we looked UP! To YHWH...and to the sky. Satellite can be received anywhere they tell me. What they didn't mention was that you can't shoot a signal through the trees. So we cut...chopped...and finally cleared a path for the transmitter/receiver to hit the 47 degree satellite!!!

It is a nice connection, but our old router went on the blink on top of it all! LOL...when it rains it pours! Then I fried a mother board getting all of it in working order. Well, long story short - We are back up on direcway.com. And it is pretty fast - except when Rita was overhead.

We praise YHWH for all of HIS mercies and kindness to us. HE has met our needs in every way. Please continue to pray for us. Also a great big "Thank You" to Brian and Lisa for all of their kindness and helping us get settled in. They have aided us greatly and made the transition much easier for us! We love you guys!

We will be having online services along with the home fellowship each Shabbat. Please feel free to join us. We are on Paltalk in "YHWHs Word of Faith" under "Religion" each Shabbat at 2 PM Eastern Time. We will also be having Praise and Worship on Friday evenings at 8 EST. Come and join us. Until we speak to you in person...

Shalom and Ahavah...
