Waiting!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello everyone it has been about a month since our last blog. Many things have been happening in our crazy lives. We were working on the house and preparing for our Thanksgiving Party. We had 3o people show up for the party. We had such a great time with each other. We gave thanks, played games and ate way more food than we should have. I(Amanda) have been baking like crazy. For the Thanksgiving parties, Christmas parties, gifts and just people over at our home. I am planning on also having a cookie exchange at our home. I (Amanda) have also been battling with my fibromialga since after our Thanksgiving party. It seems like a never ending battle but it is teaching me to take care of myself more. Hard thing to do when you are busy mom and hard headed. I will be writing up a newsletter/seasons greetings card for this month. You should receive it by Christmas time.

Ross has been busy working during the week at two different school. He is teaching in a high school at one of them and sixth graders at the other school. He is able to share about Jesus at both of the school and is building relationships with all the kids. Along with teaching he has been teaching the other man that is living with us how to fix things around the house. This is one of the things he finds relaxation in. He is also very good at it. We are so thankful that he knows how to do all of this because the house was in REALLY BAD SHAPE when we moved in. Thank God for our handyman.

Alyssa and Zoe have also had a lot of changes happen in their lives lately. We moved to a different home, in with another family, plus they changed schools. Jesus is so wonderful, the girls were able to have time between the changes. They were VERY ready to change schools. They come home everyday with huge smiles on their faces. It is so wonderful to see how they have adjusted to everything. We as a family made a gingerbread house the other day. The girls were telling us that the frosting is the glue for the elves. We had a wonderful day bringing in the Christmas season. They have their school play coming up. They are both so excited. The other day Alyssa cam and told us that she was so thankful that we have our family day together. Every Saturday on our Saboth we celebrate being together as a family. We understand that our family is first and our ministry/work is second. They are both growing up so much!

Well to end we would like for you guys to be praying for us for the next two weeks. We have yet some more things that maybe changing in our lives. Please pray for guidence, wisdom and encouragement from the Hold Spirit. We thank all of you that keep up with our lives and ministry. Many Blessings! The Johnstons
