Sioux Falls Trip to Find a Home

My mom came into town to watch the kids so that Phil and I could fly out to Sioux Falls to look for a house. We planned our trip for 5 days (2 days traveling), had a realtor established, and a list of homes we wanted to view. Our realtor set up appointments for us all day Thursday. After viewing 14 homes, we narrowed it down to 2 by that night. Friday we went back to view those 2 homes to make our final decision. All day Friday and Saturday morning Phil and I prayed our guts out about which home we should buy. We just couldn't get a good feeling about either one. We were leaving on Sunday morning, so by Saturday morning we were a mess thinking we'd be leaving Sioux Falls without a home. For "some reason" Phil and I felt like we should go look at this one home which we looked at on Thursday and had discounted because it was 6 miles south of Sioux Falls in a small town called Harrisburg. We got a hold of our realtor and headed out there. I don't know what else to say other than it felt right and we knew it was the one! We went straight back to the realty office and put an offer on the house...they accepted!

My testimony of prayer and working diligantly to find an answer to prayer has grown so much! Heavenly Father truly blessed our family that day!
