Johnson February Pics and News
24 February 2008Caleb and Thomas enjoy the view from the top of the cliffs. Every now and then, it’s great to get away from it all and enjoy the serenity, the panorama, and the breeze on “Mount Gourbinangou”. And, if we’re lucky and really quiet, sometime we’ll get to see the monkeys who live up there (well, […]
Johnson November pictures & update
4 December 2007The theme for the month of November has been “under construction.” After the arrival of our container in late October, we’ve gone into a mad frenzy trying to get our solar panels set up. In addition, our ministry partners, Matt & Julie Walsh have begun construction on their house. So far they have the shed […]
October Pictures & Updates from the Johnsons
26 November 2007One of the biggest events of the month of October was the arrival of our
container. The anticipation grew each day as we knew it was in the capital
in customs and could arrive any day, but getting out of customs and out here
was more of a challenge than we originally anticipated. Finding a truck
that […]
Semptember Pictures & Updates from the Johnsons
4 October 2007
HOUSE PROJECTS CONTINUE: Our house was a fun mess of dirt, cement and paint
as we had a mason in to repair all of the cracks and holes in the walls.
We’re hoping that will help keep the little (and not-so-little) critters,
not to mention just giving the house a much-needed face lift. The fresh
coat of paint […]
August Pictures and News
9 September 2007A five minute walk behind our house brings to the base of some amazing cliffs. The view from the top of the cliffs, and the cliffs themselves are beautiful. After a stressful day or when we’re feeling overwhelmed by the strain of cross-cultural transition, it’s a great way to remind ourselves that God is so […]
July Pictures & Update from the Johnsons
9 August 2007July was a busy month as we came back from language study in Quebec and had just under 2 weeks to prepare to leave for Burkina Faso! Despite the busyness, though, we were glad that we had this last chance to spend some time with family. Caleb enjoyed playing and blowing bubbles with his […]
June Pictures & Update from the Johnsons
11 July 2007June was an eventful month for us. Aside from travel immunizations, finishing up coursework, and packing, we had an infestation of bed bugs that left us homeless for a weekend. In the midst of all the craziness, though, we found time to enjoy ourselves a little as well. The last day of classes, we took […]
A successful finish to language school!
11 July 2007Well, after 6 rigorous months of French training, we are proud to say that we have successfully completed the required level of language training in order to be able to go to Burkina Faso this summer! Would you call us fluent? Well, no, maybe not. But we’re getting there. Dale was able to reach a […]
The latest Johnson addition is a boy!
11 July 2007Yes, true to Johnson tradition, we are having another baby boy, due December 18th, according to the ultrasound we had done today. Our little boy is healthy, active and growing. We praise God for his continued care for us. Though we would have loved a little girl, we are not too surprised or disappointed to […]
May Pictures & Update from the Johnsons
30 May 2007The month of May was our most “unexciting” one yet, but that was great by us! We made no trips and had a fairly regular class schedule and work load. We did take a field trip to the Sherbrooke history museum and hydroelectric plant (but forgot our camera), and Caleb and Florence did have 2 […]
