We received our visas!

Thank the Lord our visas arrived today, Thursday May 1st.

We just booked our flights to Los Angeles and back. We leave Monday, May 12 for Los Angeles and depart Friday May 23 arriving in Northern Ireland Saturday May 24.

We have arranged with Refuge, Calvary Chapel Huntington Beach to have Daniel's memorial service on Saturday, May 17 at 1:30 p.m. (local time).  There will be a reception to follow from 3:00-4:00 p.m. at the church.  The church address is: 7800 Edinger Ave, Huntington Beach, CA 92647

For those who aren't able to attend the memorial, it will be live streamed.  You can access this at the following website: www.refugefamily.com/live/

We appreciate your prayers more than you will ever know.  We sense the Lord holding us up in a amazing way, through the peace that surrounds us and the comfort we feel continuously.   Deuteronomy 33 vs 27 says, ''The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms.''  And we can certainly feel Him holding us in those everlasting arms.

We obviously have times of deep sorrow, and it is all still very surreal.  We anticipate that when we arrive in California the reality of Daniel's passing is going to hit us like a ton of bricks, so prayer for this is appreciated as well.

Our thanks go out to all who have sent cards and other messages of sympathy.

God bless you,

Rick and Cindy Johnston
