Seeing as how our deputation services are now over, we'll probably be switching things up a little with how we format this blog, though we're not really sure how yet. One of our goals is to try to shorten up the posts a little to save your eyes while still providing frequent updates. Bear with us for the next couple of months as we experiment with what we are doing with this blog. Any suggestions or comments are welcomed, please e-mail us at tjjohnson98@yahoo.com if you have any.
So, as we said, deputation services are over for us, training is over with, and we are now visiting family and friends before we we head to South Africa. Being so absorbed in the preparation for the past few months, it's hard to believe that it's actually time to go! Right now, we're in Bourbonnais, IL visiting Tricia's family and friends, and then after that we'll head to Kokomo, IN to see Jeremy's family and friends. Then it's back to KC to get things in order and we fly out on January 4th! We thank you all for your prayers, cards, etc. that have helped us get to this point. You are greatly appreciated.
Anyway, twenty-two short hours (we hope short) after we take off from KC, we'll land in Johannesburg, where we'll be for the next three years! We are so excited, although a little nervous as well. However, we know that God has some really special things for us there, and there's nowhere we'd rather be!
Praises and Prayer Requests
We thank God for the opportunity we have to visit with our families for a couple of weeks before we leave. We also thank you for visiting our blog and for your prayers. We also especially thank God for sending his only Son to die for our sins and give us life, as we remember his birth during this time.
Please continue to pray that God will be preparing us for this journey, and especially for traveling mercies as we travel during the next few weeks and on January 4th.
We'll probably write again before we leave and post some pictures, so check back again around New Year's. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your families!
Until next time,
Jeremy, Tricia & Jake
