joanna in the philippines

Hey everyone! I am going to the Philippines for about 4 months to help out a missionary family, and while I am there I will try to update everyone as much as I can! I am excited about going, about the things I will see, the people I will meet, and the things God will teach me! Thanks for your prayers, and leave me a message! I'd love to hear from you! God Bless!

Leaving on a jet plane....

Hey everyone! Well, the time has come for me to leave for the Philippines. I have spent the past 6 days running around like a crazy woman getting shots, visiting the DMV, the doctor, working at the City, shopping for my family over there, and, of course, spending lots of time with my family over here, especially Micah and Ella! :) I think I am finally ready to head out. The living room is a mess right now with things that I'm not really sure where they should go, but I am sure it'll all come together by 6:00 tomorrow morning. But thanks everyone for all your prayers so far, and keep praying for me! I NEED it! More than anything! Especially on this long flight over... but I know I am not alone, and I know the One who is with me, so I have nothing to fear whatsoever. I hope I'll be able to keep this updated, and also, everyone let me know how you are! I'd love to know! Okay, with that, I am going to go continue getting ready to leave! I'm looking forward to the time when I can just relax in the tribe and watch a sunset like the one above! Until then, Joanna <><

Hola - missing you already. :) Praying for you every time you come to mind. Micah has already asked if you're on an airplane (yes) and if you're on a red and white plane (I don't know...I said yes). He's excited for you to be on a plane. :) And he wants to know if you want to go to the park and swimming, but I told him he'd have to wait a few months....so, we wait! Looking forward to seeing you, HOWEVER, SO excited to see you go!! Have FUN!! Love you Joanna, Elisabeth

I'm the lucky one - you're coming to meeeee! You've been on that plane for about 3 hours now, with many more to go... We're praying for you every step of the way and once you get here, we're going to take such good care of you that you'll never want to leave. Can't wait to see you tomorrow evening. I think it's only fitting that Levi and Emma get to spend some time with a blood relative other than just their parents... Sarah

Joanna, We are so excited for you - I know you will have a wonderful time with your Sister. Tell her and Markus hello for us and we will be remembering you in our prayers. And, just think you will get to spend time with your very new niece. Did Levi remember you? I'm sure it will not take him long. Richard & Carolyn
