After months of searching and looking at dozens of plots of land, we have finally found the right place. After weeks of negotiations, checking papers and talks with an attorney and government offices, everything is checked and complete… and the land is now ours!
It is a beautiful place that is only a five minute walk from the safe home where we work. It is a large plot of 3,500 square meters. We got it at a very good price because it has a right of way going through part of it. But that doesn’t worry us as it is only a quiet track – and the plot is so big we still have more than enough space for everything we have planned. The position where we will build a home is far enough away from the track that it won’t bother us.
It has loads of different kinds of fruit trees including coconut, mango, guava and avocado. There is also a small stream and a view of the mountains. It includes this small hut that I like to call ‘The Shack’, which will be a temporary shelter and store for materials while we build our home. It also means we can apply to have electricity connected to the plot.
Gently sloping uphill, it gives us a nice overlooking view. It’s mostly very green and lush with lots of plants and at its top end, where it is higher, its dryer and has bamboo growing.
We are very happy with our piece of land, it’s a great plot in a beautiful area. It’s more space than we hoped for and will allow us to plant lots of fruit trees and keep a few animals after we are married.
We feel this is the place God has planned for us and we could never be able to own it without his help and provision. We are very thankful to Him for providing such a beautiful place for us to start our life together after the wedding early next year.
