So, this past Sunday was our second monthly service. IT WENT GREAT! We have the BEST volunteers!!! We arrived late Sat night to find out that we could not get into the school to setup until 6am Sunday morning. And, everyone didn't skip a beat, nor grumble about coming to help just to turn around and go home. This also meant that we had a great deal less time to make sure everything would be ready in time.
So, we went home to turn around in the morning to set everything upat 6am. I felt like it went so much better this time because we had at least some knowledge of where to start or what to tell people to help us setup. Setup went great, and we got everything up and ready in plenty of time.
Lots of people showed up and it looked like everyone had a good time. We had 110 people show up for this service[which is baller, as Jason would say)]. The books on church planting say that expecting about half of your first service to come back for a second service is normal and good. This is also b/c you have some well wishers come out to "fill a seat". This means that we would have been happy to have about 65-70 people. Further, our pastor Matt posted his blog about this on Oct 28: "I think it’s entirely possible to have 110 attend our second monthly service. In fact, we’re preparing for more!". I don't really believe there are too many coicidences with God, however, that's neat!
Anyway, our next event is the "Connect Event" on November 22nd. We are pretty excited about it. We hope to see more people show up.
Have a great day!

15 Weeks
We are so excited to be able to tell you that we have hit 15 weeks in pregnancy. Becky is starting to look pregnant. She's definately past most of the morning sickness, which was really light for the first 10-12 weeks. Most of the sickness was from our 45min car rides to and from work.
This past Wednesday, we had our first ultrasound of Baby Johnson. IT WAS SO EXCITING! We could totally see it moving around. It was twisting and turning a bit. We could also see it's arms and fingers moving(so cool!!!). The doctor gave us an a-ok status on the development of the baby, and we get to go back on Dec 23rd for a more in-depth ultrasound.
