For we know that when this earthly tent we live in is taken down (that is, when we die and leave this earthly body), we will have a house in heaven, an eternal body made for us by God himself and not by human hands. – 2 Corinthians 5:1 (NLT)
Dear Loved Ones,
Thank you for loving us and praying for us so faithfully. Even though we are miles apart from you, our partners, God always encourages us through YOU. We will never get tired of thanking you!
February was a special month as the Creole New Testament (CNT) Dedication took place in the San Andres Islands (SAI), Colombia. Kurt’s dad (and Kurt’s mom before she passed away) worked on translating the SAI-CNT for about 15 years.

At the beginning of February, Kurt had a very successful trip to Alotau and was able to fix the network at the SIL Regional Centre there.

This month (March) I (Johanna) had the joy of helping out in Lukas’s classroom. He is in second grade and is part of a first and second grade class combo. There are 26 students in their classroom! Normally there are 2 teachers assigned to that combo class (and one assistant) but two of them went to a Ladies’ Retreat in Australia last week. So, I got to help out and it was great fun.

We thank God for his kindness, gentleness, and love for us. He has carried us through the first few months of the year and they have been busy but full.
Love,
Johanna (for Kurt, Kassia, Lukas, and Matthias)
