Road Trip!

In just a couple of days, the Johnstone family will be heading out on a grand adventure...

4 weeks. 10 states. Almost 6,000 miles.

We're going coast to coast to see supporters, catch up with friends, meet new people...and all the while telling people about what God is doing in Kosovo and raising financial support so we can move to Kosovo as planned!

Our tentative schedule is below. If you're anywhere on our route and you wanna meet up, send me a message! Our schedule is already filling up  (especially with all the driving), but we are more than happy to throw in a couple "random" stops when we can.

 As you know, during our homeservice year, we continue to be on support and dependent on your faithful giving during this time. We are especially in need of funds for fuel and food during this trip. If you can help in any way, please contact Michael at mdjohnstone@gmail.com.

and baby makes four...

that's right...our little family will soon become a foursome. We have found out that Rebecca is 6 weeks pregnant! There is definitely "something in the water" as all the families that live within our block have recently had a baby or are currently pregnant. Our baby will be the 6th baby born to ICSV staff in a span of less than a year (first one was born in early November and we will be welcoming our new addition in September). So, kind of unexpected, but a pleasant surprise nonetheless!

an update on the transition and the simplicity of obedience.

As many of you might know, it has been over a year and a half since we moved back to southern california. It been a wonderfully difficult time.

With our mailchimp updates and our facebook group page, it almost seems like we're falling in to the trap of over-communicating...and in this trap, updates are lost. But...I think over-communicating is "better" than isolation. Plus...God has done some amazing things during this time and through the challenges, has placed our entire family in positions of growth while stretching and strengthening our faith. For...

Who are these kids at ICSV...

Hi everyone... The first week and a half of school has been absolutely amazing! We have had some great opportunities to begin building lasting relationships with the students that God has brought to Vienna to be educated at the International Christian School of Vienna. Rebecca has been adjusting well to her role as secondary secretary. She is learning quickly the many demands of her new role and is doing quite well in supporting us teachers and the rest of the staff. Rebecca hard at work I have been really enjoying my classes. I have a total of 43 students spread out over 4 periods. The students I have represent 14 different home nations, with many of the students who are "Austrian" are first generation, so they are of other nationalities as well.  I have also had the opportunity to begin working with the soccer team...again, many nationalities are represented on the field, truly an international squad. Here are some pictures of the team training at the local club...
