Upon our return both Luke's motorbike and the family car took turns in the shop getting significant repairs done. We are thankful for these means of transport that the Lord has provided for us and are especially thankful that both are now being used again (things always seem to take longer to get fixed here in Tanzania as parts are hard to come by).
The discipleship course continues. We have 6 people who attend. Japhet just finished his teaching on the Christian life, and Luke begins teaching on Monday about personal Bible Study Methods. In class we continue to do Bible memorization together and at home they are required to read a chapter of the Bible each day and comment on it in a notebook. Please pray with us that they will develop habits that will last a lifetime and that will bring about progressive spiritual growth and change in their lives.
We are currently corresponding with people in the U.S. as we make plans and preparations for our upcoming furlough (end of May through end of August). Lord willing we hope to see many of you. Pray that we will finish well with what we are doing here, and that the Lord would go before us and make our paths straight for our time in the U.S.
Gina is trying to finish homeschool with Esther (in 1st grade). Emily plays with Esther when she can and when she can't she plays with Aaron. Aaron continues to explore the whole house on all fours, and get into things he shouldn't. Emily makes sure to say, "Mom, Aaron getting into twubble" whenever he is doing something he shouldn't.
Finally may we all fix our hope on the glory and reward that is to be revealed when our Lord appears. That is our true motivation for service.
Sincerely,
Luke, Gina, Esther, Emily and Aaron Johnson
