A Wonderful Trip!

/ john & brena

Thanks for your prayers as John and I flew to the States for Seed Company meetings. It was a whirlwind of a trip (a little too busy for our liking) but special and fun in a lot of ways. Here are some of the highlights:

  • We were encouraged and inspired through the Seed Co. meetings. We saw a number of old friends and met many new colleagues.
  • We got to see Grant 7 days out of the 13 we were in the States! His Ultimate team had a tournament in the city where the meetings were held, and then he was able to spend a few days over the Thanksgiving break with us. It was a special gift from God.
  • We were able to spend time with John’s parents, two of John’s brothers and some of their kids, and my sister and family.
  • We ate lots of good food and I had a break from cooking. :)
  • The boys did great while we were away.

So thank you for praying.  Pray for us now as we settle back in and get back to our jobs.

  5. I can understand it being a “too busy” trip, but it sounds like the two of you had some time together and then I know it is such a blessing to have time with your family. Glad to hear the boys were fine while you were gone. Praying as you readjust to home. :)

  7. Hi Brena and John, There is some good news on the progress of the Bughotu recordings. The technicians are working on the recordings. It is still going a bit slowly due to the holidays but we have greater commitment from both technicians and readers. Have a very blessed Christmas and New Year! Blessed to serve with you, cynthia
