It’s been over a month and the draft is still sitting here. The girls got the job after much persistence on that same day. I got a call from the HR person in the late afternoon telling the girls to turn up for work the next day. They checked into the YHA Dolphin Retreat in Bunbury and complained that it was well, not a conducive living environment. (I tried sleeping there one night and I had to take breaks in between sleeping)

And so they began the hunt for a better and cheaper place to live in. We saw an advertisement for rooms put out by a Korean guy also working in Bunbury. Honestly though, I was not comfortable with the girls, especially my girlfriend, putting up with a single guy.

But God is faithful, always. They found a place with one of their friends and the main tenants were a young married Korean couple. To make things even better, they devout Christians! And to add icing on top of this cake, they now stay 15 minutes walk away from the workplace whereas the backpackers hostel was a taxi ride or 45 minute walk away!

I believe this is a testimony of God’s grace and faithfulness in the life of believers. I will continue to trust Him for more good things to come!
