Johnson E-Update: January 2010 The New Year finds us ful of gratitude for the wonderful Christmas we spent with my Mom, Sammie Johnson. Thanks so much for your faithful and fervent prayers for her over these last few months, Mom is doing miraculously well. She seems to be having more good days now that wen we arrived in late September. Her energy level has increased to the point that she is driving again and has decided to rejoin the church choir. She sill receives visits from her hospice nurse once a week and is taking ‘only minimal medication. In ight of the original 4-12 month diagnosis Mom received in August, she's confounding the medical experts. Peshaps we're witnessing a miracle. We'e really nol sure. At the very least God is F graciously granting us more days with Mom that we anticipated. During The Johnson Family + Fall 2009 times tke this you really understand that every single one is a gif! Thanks for praying and please keep it up!

I's not easy living on 2 continents 50 to speak, but we're so grateful for our friends who are sharing their home with us herein Charlotte, NC. We're stil in touch with our missionary team, Hungarian ministry partners and the schedule in Hungary all the while trying to report to our supporting churches here, We need to raise significant additional support ($1200/month) before we can retum to Hungary. Besides monthly suppor, we could use many one-time special gifts to help defray the serious financial shortfall we've experience over the last several years. Of course, Mom's health is another factor in the timing of our return to Hungary, so i's dificult to determine a specific timeline at this point.
