Incompetence

Today as I was working on some things that badly needed attention, I got a call from our insurance company. While we must purchase international insurance through our mission board and it is good insurance, it is not worth much here. In a normal year we have a hard time meeting our deductible. Because of this we have secondary insurance. We get it through the Honduras Medical Center (the good hospital here). We pay it monthly and receive a discounted price on medical care.

Today they called me to tell me that we were three months behind on our payments. Normally we are very prompt with our bills, but lately with all of my prenatal appointments we have been in and made sure they were paid on the first of the month. I told the lady that there was no way we had missed three months of payments.

I then had to put away what I was doing and go on a receipt hunt. The ones I had paid were filed away right where they should have been, but Jason is not as organized as I am. I called him as he was out at the property digging footings for the retaining wall and he didn't know where the other receipt was either. I did finally find it in his CLOSET. Some days I don't know whose filing abilities are more incompetent, Jason's or our insurance company's. :-)

I called them after all the receipts were found and gave them the receipt numbers. They were able to find the receipt originals and credit them to my account. Thankfully this is not the first time this has happened so we now know not to throw any receipts away.

We have the property and have spent several days out working on it. Please pray with us that God would provide the money to start building on it soon. We would so love to get things started but once we finish the retaining walls, we will have no more money to build with. Thankfully there is much work that we can be doing in the meantime. It is a good thing that the kids like digging as they will be doing a whole lot of it in the months to come.
