Josh and his younger sister, Elisabeth who just completed her second year at B.B.C.

Although we were unable to make the graduation ceremonies it was encouraging to know that several family members were present including those pictured here : his uncle and our sending pastor, John Tucker, his grandmother, Flossie Tucker, his aunt, Donna Tucker, his great Aunt Fay, and his sister, Elisabeth.

Josh has been blessed with a wonderful Christian lady as his wife; Lani, who graduated BBC two years earlier.

Josh and Lani have accepted the missionary intern position at Edgewood Baptist Church, Rock Island, Illinois. Their plans are to intern for two years then come to Burkina Faso as missionaries. We thank you for the prayers for our children and ask that you continue to pray for them.
