Some Really Good News!

This is to let you know that our little girl Ana Paulina was born this morning at 6:46 a.m. (via c-section). She weighed 2.880 kilograms or a little over 6 pounds and her length was 48.5 centimeters or a bit over 19 inches. She is beautiful and looks like Andres! I called Andres to let him know his little sister had arrived and told him he looked like her and he said to the gal who was taking care of him "Maki, my little sister looks like me!"

Thanks for your prayers for a safe delivery. We ask for your continued prayers for Nydia's recovery in the days ahead. Mom and baby are doing well.

The Countdown is On!!!!

Yes, in the next three weeks Johnson Baby #2 will arrive. This week Nydia was beginning to have contractions, but her doctor said she needs to wait until at least next week. It is looking like baby is not quite in position and the last ultrasound showed that she has her umbilical cord around her neck, which may be keeping her from getting in position. Please pray with us that she might position herself and untangle…so that Nydia won’t have to have a c-section.

Another item…is that our insurance company is showing a bit of reluctance to cover Nydia’s delivery…which would not be a good thing for us. Please pray that all gets worked out in this area, so we are fully covered.

Please continue to pray for a healthy delivery and arrival of baby Johnson (sometime between early November and Thanksgiving).

New YearOut Team 2008-2009

In mid-October our new Spearhead YearOut team arrived. Alicia, from California, will be working in discipleship and evangelism with young women in a local campus ministry and with a local church; Erica, from Texas, will be teaching English classes as an evangelistic tool, working with a local campus ministry and with a local church; Lauren, from North Carolina, will be working with a children’s home in Morelia, Michoacan Mexico…and returning for a second year…Michelle from Texas, is working with a local church and with a project sponsored by Compassion International serving children in poverty.

We are also thankful that Wendy Der, Spearhead Program Coordinator, is celebrating a year back in Mexico. She has been a huge blessing and support to both the ministry and our family!

Please join with us in praying that the Lord will be at work in and through each of these young women throughout this year
