For this post, however, let me just say that when we arrived at the house they had rented over the internet in Macomb, we discovered that it was right in the middle of the trailer park from hell. And this after they had been assured that it was in good condition and in a safe neighborhood. Here are a few pictures. In the first one notice all of the trash next to the house and the weeds in front of the house. You should also know that the front porch was so slick from mold that it was unsafe.
This next picture shows you the trees that were growing out of the rain gutters. I doubt the gutters had been cleaned in years.
The front door was far from secure and looked like it had been kicked in several times as did the side and back doors.
The kitchen was covered in cheap contact paper and the kitchen and bathroom were filthy. The living room carpet was not secure and had not been cleaned or even vacuumed in a millenium or so. The house reeked of mold.
And these pictures are my favorite. A furnace that had been jerry-rigged to a wall outlet and looked like it would explode if it was turned on.
Well, Warren and Marianne spent a sleepless night there on Friday, and Cindy and I could not sleep either in our motel. I prayed for Warren and Marianne throughout the night and received very specific direction that we were to get them out of this place. I also received instructions on how to get this done. On Saturday, with the help of a good bishop in the Macomb Ward we were able to get Warren and Marianne out, get most of their money back, and find them a great, new place to live. Enjoy the slide show of their new home and remember, Miracles still do happen.
And finally, here is a great shot of the exterior of their new place. They live in the townhome on the end.

We still can't say thank you enough for all that you've done for us!!!! Thank you all soooooo sooooo much! Oh, and it was great to have you down this last weekend after we were all unpacked! =)
Okay, so now I have officially commented. I am so happy for both of them and their new place. I am also thrilled that you were there to talk them out of the trailer park. What a disaster that would have been! I guess it was a disaster according to the following weeks newspapers. Great place Warren and Marianne! Can't wait to visit.
