Summer 2010 Newsletter

Hi friends!
It's been a long time since we've sent out a newsletter. We've been in the US on home assignment since December and have found ourselves busier than we had imagined! On the plus side, though, we've been able to see most of you face-to-face!
Our time in the US is drawing to a close. As I write this, we have exactly 2 weeks left. Our plane leaves from JFK on July 31st. We have lots to do before then, but aside from all the packing, cleaning, and last minute stuff, we're feeling pretty ready to go back. Praise the Lord that we've been able to get enough rest despite the busyness to be able to look forward to our return to Burkina. We do miss our friends over there and we miss having a more "settled" pace of life, even if it is very busy! We can't escape the call the Lord has placed on our hearts to be in Burkina, and our hearts aren't fully at peace until we're back doing what we're supposed to be doing!
We will miss you, though! It's always with a "torn" feeling that we have to say our goodbyes because we miss sharing in your every day lives. But this time around, we feel less grief and more thankfulness at having had this opportunity to reconnect. You have all welcomed us and loved us thoroughly while we've been in the US and we will take those memories with us, knowing that we have a great team behind us here in the US. What an encouragement! And we hope you will consider entering "our world" sometime...we would love to welcome you to our Burkina Faso home someday!
One last thought as we leave you...we always crave communication. It helps us stay linked to the reality of things happening back here in the US. We will work hard to send you regular updates, and hope that you will think of us from time to time and send us a note! Did you know that in addition to the quarterly newsletters like this one, we also send out monthly prayer letters? If you aren't getting those and are interested in receiving them, please let us know! We also changed our website. Last fall we began our own blog site. So if you've been checking our old website and not seeing any updates for a long time, try looking up the new blog at www.johnson.ergatai.com. And if you're not already connected to us through facebook, look us up! It's one more tool to help us all stay in touch! With all these options, we hope there's no excuse for anyone to forget about us!;)
Love,
Dale, Florence, Caleb and Joel

End of 2009 Newsletter!
4th Quarter Newsletter
Please click on the link above to view our latest newsletter (October-December 2009).
We left Burkina Faso on November 18, and finally arrived back in PA on December 15th. We enjoyed our visits with friends and family in Europe and North Carolina, but we are glad to be back in "home territory" and are looking forward to settling down a little bit. We're grateful that we had this time to decompress a little. Soon we'll be ready to start sharing with you our experiences in Mahadaga. It's been a shock to re-enter the US during the Christmas season, but we're really glad that we have the chance to celebrate Christmas with our families this year and to experience a white Christmas!
May your hearts rejoice as we celebrate the arrival of our Savior - the coming of the Eternal God as a little babe.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
