quick prayer update

Dear Friends and Family,

Thank you for your thoughts and prayers for us over the past few
weeks. Zach and Micah are doing well, but Jesse is still struggling.
We are not sure what is wrong-- he had another few days and nights of
level 8 pain this past week, and now is feeling "better," which means
that his systemic muscle pain is back down to its usual 3 or 4. I
don't remember the last time he had a pain free day.

We are praying about what to do next-- doctors here just really don't
have the diagnostic capabilities to figure out something strange. We
are still planning to go to Kenya in September to have the baby, but
that's a long time to wait when you're miserable.

Please pray that we'll have wisdom.

I am 18 weeks pregnant now and the baby is doing fine. Some of you
have asked about due date-- it's October 8. I am still struggling
with nausea and feeling faint, but nothing abnormal so far-- hooray!

Meanwhile Jesse is pushing through and teaching two courses at the
Bible School this month. Danielle is finishing up her time at the
Discovery School. We have two more big projects before she goes-- 1--
making the video for use in govt. school training and 2-- organizing
all our current curriculum and worksheets/sample activities into a
system where they can be easily found when needed.

Thank you again to all of you who bring us before the Lord in prayer.
We need it.

Jesse, Joy, Zach, and Micah Johnson
