Dear friends and family, thank you for your prayers.
The long car trip across Tanzania and the long plane rides en route to the U.S. all went well. An overnight lay-over in London meant that we could see the Whites (Old time friends of the Johnsons) briefly, and rest between continents.
We are currently in Chicago staying with Danny & Annie Johnson. Annette & baby Linden, and Lisa (Luke's sisters) showed up and surprised us. It has been great to spend time together with all of them.
On Friday (May 6) we met up with Carol Mattix (Gina's Mom) and went to Emmaus Bible College to attend Christopher Mattix's graduation. We were able to see many of our old professors from when we attended the College and, of course, participate in the graduation ceremonies. Now we are back in Chicago and tomorrow we will take a two-day train trip to Seattle, along with Carol and Christopher Mattix.
It has been a bit difficult getting over jet lag, and along with the fatigue Gina and I feel like we are coming down with colds again. Emily has also had a rough first week in the States, being sick since we started the first flight out of Tanzania. After a doctor's visit and proper medication she is now on the mend.
We would appreciate your prayers for health & strength and for the many travels and visiting we have ahead of us. Hopefully we will get to see many of you during our stay in this country. We certainly do appreciate your prayers and support on our behalf.
In His grace & care,
Luke, Gina, Esther, & Emily Johnson
