October Update

Dear friends and family,
Greetings from Tanzania.
Luke taught at the youth seminar last month, while the marriage seminar was postponed.

A group of some 20+ men pulled the boat out of the water for re-caulking and improvements.

Our mango tree finally dropped all its fruit just as the rains are finally becoming consistent.

Last week we enjoyed a little break by Lake Victoria, our car got some needed repairs and we briefly visited a new church.

Upon our return we joined Gracie (our faithful helper) at the wedding of her nephew.

Luke continues to work hard at translating a Doctrinal Survey course. We are looking forward to our trip next month, this time all the way to Bolivia! However, we are not looking forward to the paperwork for the renewal of our work permits. ;-)
With much to be thankful for,
Luke, Gina, Esther and Emily Johnson
