Josiah's Graduation


Dear Ohana  

Tonight we begin our trek across the planet, flying from Almaty to Los Angeles. We are packing and preparing our apartment for friends who will housesit. Packing the big stuff is easy. It is those old birthday cards, broken clothespins which you intended to fix, and pen caps for the 'temporarily' lost favorite pen that we never know what to do with. But clearing and throwing is great pilgrim training.

IMPORTANT  - the only email address for us will be - blairstan@hotmail.com (not the one this letter is sent on)

Our son Josiah, wrote a short note for you. Please keep him, and our whole family, in your prayers. He faces some big challenges ahead.

"I would like to apologize for not keeping in touch and writing often. Life as a senior in high school can be very busy. This past Friday I graduated from high school. It was a big part of my life and I am thankful to God for his guidance and blessing on my life. I am thankful to all of you. I thank you for all your love and support. I have truly been blessed. I am now 17 years old, it seems life has been lived, I have seen all there is. But it hasn't, there is a lot to come and my prayer is that it will be centered upon God's will. He has made my life special and I just wanted to say thank you and I love you.
                                           
Sincerely,  Josiah Blair "
