He Turned the Phone Off AGAIN!!!!

I am not very happy. Our landlord, soon to be ex-landlord, has turned the phone off on us again. He is so paranoid that we will leave him with a big phone bill, he has opted to take matters into his own hands.

He did this about 10 days ago too. We managed to get him to turn it back on again, thanks to a few tears from Sharon, but now it is off once more. This is very frustrating when trying to use SKYPE to keep in contact with children in the States. He knows that our average monthly bill has been around $10 (thanks to SKYPE) but based on his previous experiences with other international tenants, he has decided to cut it off early and prevent any last minute large bills.

So, how do I respond. Or do I respond? Maybe I react. It has been very hard to keep an open mind about him. Loving him is even harder. Yet, that's what I am called to do. Fortunately, I have not run into him since turning off the phone a second time. When I do see him, I want to respond with grace. I don't know if I WILL, but that's what I am hoping to do. Any prayers you can shoot our way about this would be most appreciated.

We have decided to move out a couple days early, partly because of his attitude and partly to help house-sit for a vacationing family here.

Thanks for your prayers.
