Gergie in Brazil!

I've written before about our friend (brother-in-law-in-law?) Greg Johnson who is serving as a Journeyman in Brazil in a community on the Amazon. He was back in the big city of Manaus, and Jan, Kevin, Alden, and Scott were able to fly down and spend the week with him! They have been having a great time and we have enjoyed seeing all their pictures.

While they were out of town, we told Jeff we wanted to have him over for dinner. He wasn't able to go on the trip because he coaches basketball at the high school. When he came over he told us that Greg was planning to get on Skype so that we would all be able to talk to him! Kendall was super excited about this. She loves Greg (Gergie) so much and still talks about him all the time. He has been in Brazil for months. In fact, just yesterday morning, we were driving to school and she said, "Mom, every day after we have center time we have prayer time and today I'm going to say that we should pray for Gergie." I love her sweet heart and I love that she remembers things like that!

So she was very excited to get to talk to him and see him! He was so sweet to listen to all her stories and watch her bring lots of stuff to the computer to show him. He even told her some stories about animals he has seen and about telling people about Jesus!

Cooper was able to see him, too. And Kendall brought her princess puppet out to show him. Before Jan left, she had Kendall record a video on Randy's phone and then we texted it to her so that she could show Greg. She did a puppet show for him. :)

We love that Jeff shared his Skype time with us and that we were able to talk to Greg and hear some of his amazing stories!
