We moved in! Our address is 1800 Murton St Apt 106, Vancouver, WA 98661. The entire process took less than a day. Crazy!
Most fast-paced miracles seem to occur when Bethany tells God she wants something. I picture God going: OK! I'll get right on that, Ma'am! Wednesday we decided we wanted to move somewhere close to Portland (close enough that I didn't have to drive to the mission) was safe, inexpensive, and generally nice. That morning when using the internet and power at a coffee shop (in exchange for buying a pot pie!) I chatted with a lady about the area, shared a bit about what we were going through, and she turned out to be a Christian (not as many out here as in Bible Country) with a great recommendation for a place that is about 15 minutes from downtown Portland, is safe, inexpensive, etc!
We decide to drive by the place, then stop in after driving by. A few hours later we have the paperwork signed and the van unloaded (mostly). We are greatly enjoying the place and all its amenities (such as a work-out room and sauna - for cheaper that we've ever paid for a place) and the quiet we get in spite of the fact that it is an apartment complex. Oh yeah, it's also cheaper than staying in campgrounds every day. Bit cleaner too.
I'll post soon about what my plans are at the Portland Rescue Mission and whatever temporary or long-term work we find. :)
