South West England

Hey all!
we leave in a couple hours for a village called St. Neot in Cornwall. We are going to an Iona show in a cave tomorrow!
We have been having an amazing time here in the London area, staying with the most beautiful, hospitable people. It will be hard to leave Richard and Rachel Coates and their 4 children when the time comes. They are such a blessing! So yes, our time here has been great. Christy show me around to the house she was staying in last year, which was great to see. Then she took me to see some old friends of hers(Celestine and Buelah) at their restaurant, who served us the most delicious food and would not let us pay. Bless them! Yesterday we went to Kew Gardens, which is so massive and so beautiful you could spend ages there. We'll be back to the city next week but now we're excited to get out to the country. So off we go! Love you all! Many Blessings! Joseph and Christy

Spring in England!

Hey dear ones,
It is so pretty here, cherry blossoms and all sorts of flowers blooming, a far cry from the volcanic rustic moonscape of Iceland. We appreciate both.
We are staying with such a lovely family Richard and Rachael, with four great kiddos. Joseph is teaching a James how to skateboard.
We went to Folly's End church today and Joseph got to meet old friends. We are having an awesome time.
Richard was at the same Iona show that Dave and Elias were at.
It's going really well and we're enjoying this time a lot!
Love,
Joseph and Christy

Wrapping up Iceland time.

We have had an extravagantly gorgeous time here, with all kinds of wonderful occurences. We stayed with such lovely people, Bryan and Halla....We have tasted rotten shark, seen beautiful places, recorded a song at a local radio station today, and we have to go eat a Icelandic hot dog now.
Love,
J and C

in iceland!

hello!

we had an awesome time with family in st. louis going to our cousin´s wedding, and catching up with lots of people, and seeing gorgeous birds. It was especially neat to get to see Marty Mom, ..WE give thanks!!!!!
We landed at 540 this morning in reykjavik. We are staying in an apt. for free, our hosts are a brother and sister who are very generous and kind. we are sharing the place with a couple of German travelers, and sharing food. Jesus is so good, and it is obvious that He has the best plans in mind for us. It is pretty here in Iceland, and unique, volcanic rock all over, colorful houses, and very friendly people. we have walked all day and are about to go soak i a neighborhood geothermal pool. we have been thinking upon a super rad verse in Daniel 10.19 ...'Don´t be afraid...for you are deeply loved by God. Be at peace, take heart and be strong!´'

Love you all tons and are thinking of you, praying for you... Joseph and Christy

On our way

Hi Dear ones!

We've had an amazing week in Colorado Springs with the Millers. We met our awesome new nephew Zane. Our hosts have been rad, Naph made yummy breakfasts, we got to go bike-riding with Celeste. John got us tickets for a Resurrection day play at their church. It was crazy good! Christ's love for us is SO immense. We also got to see a bunch of people baptized which was really powerful. Today we're going to a butterfly sanctuary, it's so blue and pretty and we are so glad to be in our King's gracious hand. We love and miss our family and friends in K-town. Thanks for the shockingly jubilant send off! WE love you guys so much, and will be in touch. Daddy has been confirming His heart for us every step of the way. Tomorrow we fly to St. Louis for cousin Evan's wedding, and then April 16, we fly for Iceland!

GRACE,PEACE, and prayers to you,
Joseph and Christy
