Hold on to your hats everyone. We are having the Greek version of Santa Ana winds. Very much alike. Strong and warm. Winds are blowing directly out of the South coming off the African coast. We are only about 150 mile from Libya.
We are doing fine, I'm on the computer and Leigh is still asleep at 9:55 in the morning our time 10/16/09. Yesterday was a goof off day, We went into the town of Chania and walked around - shops as usual - and ate at a restaurant by the harbor. All in all it was a pretty good day.
Still no job yet, will turn in application to another place and wait to see. Apparently jobs are not too easy to get here because of the smallness of the base. God's in control, either a job will open, or we'll get a lot of financial support, or we'll win the lottery which we never play. The job would be best because it will allow us to stay here longer without a hassle.
We love y'all and thank you for your support and prayers, blessings upon you,
Chuck & Leigh

We Found A House!
We rented a small, approximately 800 sq.ft., 3 bedroom (actually 2) house yesterday just 1/2 mile from Stavros Beach where the movie Zorba the Greek was filmed.
It is small inside, but outside is fantastic. Long covered front porch with built-in seating and large table. Off the porch is a round built-in table and seating. Two areas for grilling and an outside oven for baking bread, pizza, or . . . Huge yard for a garden and plenty of parking. And it's only about a 20 minute drive to the base.
We take possession on Nov. 1st. God is good!! Now all we need is a car and for me (Chuck) to get a job. Needless to say we are excited. The house is much smaller than we thought we wanted, but with all the outside space we believe it will do fine for our needs as well as for the ministry. Most of the year will be outside-type activity anyway. Plus it fits right in with the old Jackson axiom - 'the price was right.' We have already had offers from people about giving or loaning us furniture, PTL! It won't take too much to fill up the place.
