Exchange Rate

We signed the contract for the house last week and the money for our loan is available and will soon be wired to our bank account here. Joel's been banking here in Sencur for the past year or so now and has a great relationship with the bank Manager. He told Joel to let him know when the money is available and he would watch for several days for when the best exchange rate will be (on our side...not his. Important!) : ) and then he will complete the transaction.

Would you please join us in praying for whatever strange (positive) economic events take place that somehow might affect the exchange rate? Right now for every American dollar we have we pay 1.36 in Euros and when it applies to a loan for a home, it ends up being quite a difference in the final amount of the money. Thank you so much!
