Hey everyone!
Well, its a week late but just wanted to let you know that we arrived back to Texas last Saturday! Its been a busy week of getting unpacked, settled in the apartment and doing some work around the property here.
Thank you very much for all your prayers and support! We did have a crazy ride down here with a trailer breaking down on us, having to buy a new one and the car thermostat going bad and having to fix that. We may write some more on that and post some pictures as well.
Remember to keep your eyes on our hope, Jesus Christ! Do not let this world entangle you! Be a good soldier of Christ Jesus!
1 Timothy 2:4 - "No soldier gets entangles in civilian pursuits, since his aim is to please the one who enlisted him"
All Glory to our great Savior!
For His Glory!

Packing
Hey Everyone!
Just wanted to give a short update on what we have been up to. For the past few weeks we have been doing a lot of traveling visiting a few different churches and saying goodbye to family before we move back to Texas. We started our trip in North Jersey to visit my (Michele) family. We were able to celebrate my grandmother's 70th birthday. Next was a trip to the Adirondack Mountains where Chris' brother and family lives. Chris had the opportunity to preach up there at one of our supporting churches, Adirondack Bible Chapel. We enjoyed fellowship with our brothers and sisters there but also some sad goodbyes. The last leg was to central Jersey, Chris' parents house and home church, Fellowship Bible Church. Chris and I were able to share about To Every Tribe during Sunday School and then Chris preached during Sunday Service there on July 25.
This past weekend we made a trip to York, PA to speak at a new church we met, Springwood Chapel. We enjoyed meeting new people and having the opportunity to share about To Every Tribe, the misson's work we do and Chris again was able to preach there Sunday morning. Since we were sort of in the area we stopped to spend a few days with Chris' grandmother up near State College. It was nice to spend a few days with her and learn some more about Chris' family roots. This was especially interesting to me as I am beginning to work on a family tree for both of our families. I was grateful for his grandmother's good memory!
We are currently busy packing up our apartment. We will be leaving to drive back to Texas on August 19th. Just two short weeks from today. We hope to drive straight from New Jersey to Alabama and then there to Los Fresnos, TX. This will make for two VERY VERY long days in the car but we are excited to get back into the swing of things in Texas and Mexico. We should arrive in Texas on Aug 20th.
Blessings,
Michele

Getting Settled
Hey!
We have been busy trying to get settled in our apartment here in Pitman, NJ. Getting things done each day but still a lot to do. We have spent the last week working mostly on getting a new prayer card made, changing my name over to Johnson, writing up a new newsletter, and updating our information on the To Every Tribe website. You can check out our new page there at www.toeverytribe.com and clicking on the missionaries tab. The newsletter is just about finished so I might have it up here on our updates section either today or tomorrow.
I am enjoying being married and learning how to be a good, godly wife. This week is the first week I've had to start cooking every night. If any of you ladies out there have some recipes please email them to me. I am a beginner so the more details the better! I can see how your day can go quickly with just trying to get simple things done such as laundry, cooking, cleaning, etc. I was encouraged and challenged at a Ladies Gathering at my church last Saturday about being productive with our time.
"Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is." Ephesians 5:15-17
Chris and I are trying to develop a schedule that will help us maintain different disciplines in our lives. The days are evil and they go by oh so quickly, walk wisely and make them of worth for Christ.

Welcome
Hi All!
Welcome to our new blog! We are excited to get back into the swing of things after celebrating our blessed wedding on June 12. Both Chris and I will be posting various posts on here to keep you all updated on what is going on in our lives and hopefully share a few encouraging words as well. We are still in the process, as you probably can tell, of creating this website. Some of the pages have been created but not finished. Hopefully we will have it all up and running soon. Hope this is a good way to keep y'all involved in our lives.
Much Love and Blessings,
Chris & Michele
