Aloha from the NEW Blairstan in Beijing!
Many thanks for your prayers and encouragement
amidst our apartment upheaval. God has mercifully given us an Upgrade! First,
our landlord acted with great consideration. He actually lives in another part
of China where he runs a business that urgently needed some capital. So he was
forced to sell the apartment. Yet as he was admittedly breaking our contract he
gave us 2 weeks rent free and 2 months cash penalty AND our one month rent cleaning
deposit. So, we were able to pay advance rent and fees of our new place which
is in another building of the same complex. Our new rent is about $250 less per
month. It is a bit smaller, but it has a roof top patio which we will
especially enjoy this summer. We have a great view from the 29th
floor, especially when the skies are clear here in Beijing, like today….
Of course, like any move, there was lots of
cleaning, painting, organizing, packing, and unpacking – which we are still
doing – but we wanted to give praise to God and thanks to you for all that has
happened. Now we can focus more fully on all the ministry opportunities of this
upcoming Easter and beyond.
We are very grateful for your prayers and support as
we serve the Lord here in this capital city of the world’s most populated
nation. We are still amazed at all the wonderful doors of opportunity He
continues to open!
Yours in our Risen Savior,
Mark and Dayna Blair
