Our nephew, Phoenix, loved those slikworm larvae

on the road again...

from pasadena, california, i (john) finally write an entry:

my wife and i have been traveling around the states since just before Christmas.
it's been difficult at times,

but then again we've had awesome times too...

with grandma and grandpa jones...in wichita, kansas

in caves...in birmingham, alabama

and shooting guns...in the south

sliding down poles like a firefighter...at the dream center in alabama

or going to a show...in west hollywood, california

enjoying yummy food...at in-n-out burger

2 free tickets to Disneyland

and oh that southern california weather...

but it's not all fun and games, there's work to be done

(although it's been so much fun too!!!)...

we're out and about sharing MountainChild.org...

in cafes...

in churches...

in homes...

in grade 2 classes?!...

All the while, we're meeting with friends...

and family...

and meeting new friends...

And the best of times have come through all of these people.

it's been amazing to go place to place sharing our hearts and passion with people about the work the Lord is leading us to do with MountainChild.org...

and at every corner we're meeting others who are doing the same... sharing their hearts with us, their passion, and what Christ is doing in their lives. they are encouraging us with their lives, lifting us up in prayer, giving so graciously, and loving us so much.

we feel so blessed. thanks y'all.
