THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS as we’ve finished up our time here in Texas. Tomorrow we leave for our two week stay in California enroute to Papua New Guinea on July 6.
Thanks for praying for Joey. He made it safely to PNG and is having a great time with his friends. We’re thankful he had smooth flights and made all his connections, and also for our friends, the Nachtigals, who are hosting him until we arrive.

We have successfully packed up and moved out of 2515 Blue Quail Drive! Whew. The house we were renting from my (Brena’s) parents is now completely empty with boxes stored in my sister’s shed. Thanks for your prayers for strength. Another move accomplished!

Grant seems to be doing well in South Carolina. He’s getting lots of hours at Chick-fil-A, spending time with his cousins, attending a great church, and working out to stay fit . We are so thankful for how God is taking care of him.
Prayers Needed:
- Although we weren’t able to see everyone we would have liked, we are thankful for the people who have been a part of our lives this year. God has been good and we trust Him now as we begin our transition back to PNG and settle back into life there. Please pray for us.
- We are looking forward to seeing those that we can in CA. Look back to our previous post if you’re interested in coming to our Open House. Pray for our time in CA that it would be special as we spend time with friends and family. Pray too for Luke who is having to hang around exclusively with his boring parents. :)
- And finally, please pray for the loved ones we are leaving behind.
To Be In Touch:
PO Box 1 (134), Ukarumpa EHP 444, Papua New Guinea
cell # 817-300-5601 (until July 6)

I don’t envy you in this time of transition, but pray for the Lord’s strength and peace over each of you in the following days/weeks.

Hi John and Brena,
We tried to go back thru our emails to find out when you would be in CA and when your Open House would be but we cannot find it . Would you mind sending that info to us again?
Thanks! Ralph and Ruth Rogers

Hi, Brena — and family! We were hoping to see you in July on our way to North Carolina to visit Carry and her family; but, alas, you will already be on the west coast. I am working through the month of June, and then taking July and August off — first time ever! Your family picture is really great! We will continue our prayers for you as you settle again!! I’m sure the moves are not easy. We love you, Dareth and Jack From: johnandbrena To: hawthornejnd@yahoo.com Sent: Sunday, June 21, 2015 5:01 PM Subject: [New post] prayers answered #yiv3295456732 a:hover {color:red;}#yiv3295456732 a {text-decoration:none;color:#0088cc;}#yiv3295456732 a.yiv3295456732primaryactionlink:link, #yiv3295456732 a.yiv3295456732primaryactionlink:visited {background-color:#2585B2;color:#fff;}#yiv3295456732 a.yiv3295456732primaryactionlink:hover, #yiv3295456732 a.yiv3295456732primaryactionlink:active {background-color:#11729E;color:#fff;}#yiv3295456732 WordPress.com | john & brena posted: “THANKS FOR YOUR PRAYERS as we’ve finished up our time here in Texas.
