“And bear with patience thine afflictions, and I will give unto you success” (Book of Mormon: Alma 26:27)... 
This has been a hard road and a very long journey, but finally our patience has paid off and we are proud new homeowners. Over a year ago we started looking to purchase a house in Arizona. Everyone kept saying “it’s a buyers market” but clearly they were mistaken. We looked at thousands of houses online, hundreds of houses on foot (with baby in tow) and placed more than 15 offers until we were finally blessed with a home to call our own. We spent all of our free time over the last year and a half invested in the home search and it was exhausting. It was such a roller coaster of emotions each time we thought we might get a house and it wasn’t the one. Our house was a short sale and we have waited 6 long months alone for this one house and we are so happy to call it home. I feel so blessed that the Lord saw us fit to endure this trial of patience and know that it is faith that brought us through. We are so grateful to all the many prayers in our behalf and look forward to sharing our guest room with you!! Come see our new house in a few weeks when the many “before” pictures, soon to be revealed, become beautiful “afters”!!
