The Parsonage of Campanilla Church of the Nazarene

This is a blog about the parsonage in Campanilla. We have been working on the house to get it ready for after we are married, so when I got to Campanilla, it had been cleaned, as much as you can with spaces in the walls, and the framework for the walls had been put up. We decided to make two bedrooms, even though there are plans to build a new church where the house is in 2014. But if anyone wants to visit before then, we will have a room for you!!!! There is also a living room, bathroom, and kitchen. These are pictures of the house before and to the point of a week ago. Two of the young men, who happen to be cousins of Sixto, of the church came and helped Sixto put the pressed board up for the walls. Then two weeks later we painted the walls. We ran out of blue and yellow before we were done, so the kitchen has three walls painted and the living room only two. Take a look and see what you think.

This is before any of the pressed board went up for walls.
 
 
The "master bedroom" and the door to outside. This is the
back door, although we don't have a front door yet!!!

This is the kitchen. It is to the right of the back door.










This is a view of the kitchen and living room from the spare bedroom. There is a hallway between the master bedroom and the kitchen that goes to the back door.




















The bathroom is behind the "master bedroom". Originally, the door was going to be outside, but then we decided it was better to have access through the house instead.




This is Josue on the table and Nixon behind the table. They helped get all the pressed board up on the framework.




Yesenia came with me to take pictures and see just what was going on with this silly guys.
 
 
Sixto helped too. I must say, I only took pictures of them working. :-)















After the Painting
 

The hallway to the backdoor, and into the kitchen. Some of the blue looks a different color, but it is all the same, just the lighting. The yellow is about the color of margarine. We painted three walls of the kitchen, but the fourth will have to wait until we have more paint. Both sides of the hallway are light blue. and the back of the door too. We also painted one wall in the living room yellow.






The spare bedroom is also light blue, and one wall of the living room. The rest of the living room is suppose to be yellow and blue as well, but we ran out of blue too, so it has to wait too. In this picture you can see the doorway to the bathroom through the master bedroom.




















The master bedroom is pear green. We got all four walls painted well with the green, but used all the green. It is a refreshing color.


The other wall in the master bedroom. The walls in the spare bedroom are a little sparse on the paint. It definitely needs some more. We only had enough paint to do the run with a roller, and no trim work.






The yellow wall of the living room and the walls of the kitchen.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 




Just wanted to give a little update of what we are doing. Hope all is going well for everyone. Just a few more days until the wedding! We have a prayer request. That is for Sixto's visa interview on May 7. Please pray that all goes well so we can come to the states in August for a visit. Thanks for all your prayers!!!

  1. Hi Katie, Love the updates on your first home. It must be exciting working on it together. I did notice that the colors you chose were WV colors? Was that coincidence? Also, I loved your Bible study idea and may borrow it sometime. I love reading your posts. We are praying for you and Sixto and eager to see wedding pictures soon. - Loretta
