What will the bank do?

Laurance and I have had a very frustrating 3-months. I have been trying to work out a loan modification with the bank, which has gone so ridiculously slow that I am ready to throw in the towel. I have an opportunity, in which, my attorney and long time friend, has offered to let me rent a house from him that I could move into today, but I just feel like I should try to save my house. The neighborhood we live in is beautiful and very safe. I don't know what to do. Help me Judge Spinner.
