So tomorrow morning I begin orientation week at The Masters Seminary. That is followed by a a weekend and 2 day break & then it is go time. Seminary begins!I have learnt the Hebrew alphabet off by heart (not in written form just yet) and I will get stuck into this semesters books right away now that we have purchased them and they arrived in the mail.
We are all doing well. Perhaps except for Kyah on Sunday mornings and Sunday nights! Our precious baby girl is not enjoying the nursery at Church. She gets really upset and has to be held the whole time by the women serving in the nursery ministry.
Many other families have also struggled initially with their kids - and they have all gotten used to it so hopefully Kyah settles in soon. We have started taking her into the fellowship group (a smaller church service before the main service) and so far she has been well behaved.
Kyah is really enjoying it here. She plays with the other kids in our apartment complex often and has made some friends. The biggest by far is "Shellwee" as she calls Michelle Hole. Kyah just loves her! She cannot get enough of playing with Michelle and thankfully Michelle likes to look after Kyah and play with her.
We are really missing you all! We have enjoyed chatting to quite a few of you on Skype. For those of you who do not have Skype please download it and talk to us! We would love to hear from you. We really would. Oh, and for a couple of you who have called and missed us - please forgive us we will call you back in the next day or so.
It is great to speak to our family and friends. We miss you whether your a Sister, Brother, in Laws, Mums, Dads, Nanna's, Grandpa's , Uncles and Aunty's! We love you heaps.
We miss GCBC alot. We miss hanging out with you all and listening to JB preach. We love you so much and are so thankful that you pray for us and keep us in your lives even though we are on the other side of the world.
Church here has been good. It is massive and took a bit of getting used to but we are slowly settling in and working out where best we can serve.
Lisa has been meeting more and more of the other seminary wives / mothers. They are all so welcoming and lovely. Lisa is still keen on looking into a course at The Masters College that is specifically tailored to TMS wives. That should be great!
Please keep praying for us. We are at the mercy of a lot of things here. We are so reliant on the Lord and trust that He will continue to maintain and sustain us over here. Keep us informed of your lives and how we can best pray for you also.
We hope to hear from you soon!
Thank you for your love and support.
In His grip,
The Johnston's
