Brittney - Brittney Johnson

Let's see...I'm from Texas but 'temporarily' living in the twin cities in MN. My passion is traveling...love it...can't imagine not doing it. Traveling has become a part of me. Living abroad opened my eyes to parts of the world I would have never seen; the suffering, the poor, and most of all the lost.
I currently work for Praying Pelican Missions where I am a trip leader & missions consultant to Belize, Jamaica & soon to be Mexico & beyond. I miss living abroad dearly. In America, we live in a tiny bubble and forget there is a whole world out there. Matthew 28 & Romans 15...check it out.

“Here am I; send me.” Isaiah 6:8

See where my travels have led me. The more I see, the more I want to go & see more.

Bucket List....Skydiving...Check North America » United States » Wisconsin » Hudson

Getting ready to jump!
Surprisingly...we weren't that nervous!

Skydiving So spring FINALLY came to Minnesota...it's about time!! Let's see...what's been going on, not a whole lot. Like I told you, Emily & I have been training for a 10-mile race. And the race was yesterday. It was along the Mississippi River in St. Paul, gorgeous run! And the weather was perfect running weather! Her friend, Christina, ran the race too! It wasn't bad at all, considering we didn't train as much as we should have. The last 2 miles seemed really long, but overall, not bad. And I'm a bit sore today, but not as sore as I thought [View Full Entry]

Spring Break...TX, Belize, NY North America » United States » New York

Belize Sunrise
Caye Caulker

Texas It only took being back in Minnesota for a couple of weeks in the winter until I was ready to leave again....to a much warmer place! I went to Texas for a few days. Got to see my mom's new place, hang out with friends, and my dad came in town from Enid. Then my mom, nana & I headed down to Houston to see my bro. He recently moved there. Was so fun! We ate out at some amazing restaurants. We cooked out at my bro's place & my cousin Cody, Aunt Lyn & KD came over. I got [View Full Entry]

Rome...
no...this was taken sadly enough in Milan. Didn't make it to the collisum :(

Beginning of Trip; Italy & Switzerland Rome Bellano Milan Venice Lugano, Swiss And then...Western Mediterranean Cruise So, after the Belize/Jamaica trip I went back to MN for 2 days. Enough time to do laundry, repack & head out again. This time...purely for holiday/vacation! One of my roommates, Becky & I started our journey mid Feb & headed to Italy. We landed in Rome on Feb 15th. I have to admit, I was most excited about seeing Rome! We were only going to spend one day there because we had plans to head [View Full Entry]

Jamaican Me Crazy Central America Caribbean » Jamaica » Negril

Vietnamese Alliance Church
This group was awesome!! So gifted & humble. They led amazing worship!

1/19/08 So 2 days ago was officially the coldest day I have ever experienced...& the same has been true for each day that follows. In some parts of MN it got down to -40 F!! That is just insane!!! Now I absolutely can't wait for Belize & Jamaica in a couple of weeks!! About a week ago I got back from Belize. We had an amazing trip in Bermudian Landing...a village that I have become so close with! Sister Dahlia & Pastor Floyd & their 2 precious daughters; Micracle & Abigail, and of course Melissa. It was a rather 'rough' trip [View Full Entry]

Life in the Midwest...Minne-SOODA North America » United States » Minnesota » Minneapolis

Nana's Bday in MN
Went to a really nice restaurant to celebrate my nana's bday. Yummy!

MINNESOTA Settling in to life in the mid-west....in Minne-SOODA! Sounds pretty random, huh?! Never did I think I would move here! The idea of going to MN never even crossed my mind in the past...& now I'm living here...crazy! (although I'm really not here all that much). But I love it! Every where you turn, there's a lake. And the trees in the fall are gorgeous! So much nature & wild life here. The other day I saw an albino squirrel & I already told you about deer in our yard! My mom, nana & aunt pam came up to [View Full Entry]

Southern Decadence in New Orleans?? & Cross Country Road Trip North America » United States » Louisiana » New Orleans

Bourbon Street
Out & about. Reminded me of a bigger 6th St. in Austin.

So my brother & I turned 26!!! NO!! It sounds SO old! I don't like it at all! I feel like I should be 22. You're only as young as you feel, right? I'll just keep telling myself that! No, it's cool, I love where God has put me & what he's doing in my life right now. So, my mom treated my brother & I to New Orleans for our 26th bday. My Aunt Pam joined us. I had never been before so it was really cool. We had a bit of a surprise. A couple days before leaving, we [View Full Entry]

If I'm snorkeling...it must be Friday! Central America Caribbean » Belize

Mom & me at Tikal
Was so proud of my mom, she hiked up a 150 ft temple!

I don't even have the words to describe how amazing my last week was in Belize. I spent the entire summer in Belize, it was all incredible, but the last week was completely the work of God. So I'll try to make a long story short of what happened last week & then I'll fill you in on the summer of missions in Belize! Last week's trip was a group of dentists & a doctor that came to serve in a village called La Democracia. God started planning this trip a long time ago, before the group even knew about it!

From Central America to Canada & Inbetween North America » Canada » British Columbia » Vancouver

Pelicans!
Staff meeting & training in Duluth. I love our staff! Amazing people! GO PELICANS!!

Better late than never. I had absolutely no time to update my blog this summer in Belize. It was crazy busy! Anyway, started off the spring in Belize, with 2 trips, one in Bermudian Landing & the other in my favorite village, Hattieville. Got to serve with Pam Dyer, who is from Hattieville, who is becoming one of my good friends! She brings so much energy to the church! It was an amazing week in Hattieville...lives were forever changed! Moving through the spring, I went to the twin cities & Duluth in Minnesota for meetings & training for the upcoming trips [View Full Entry]

You betta Belize It! Central America Caribbean » Belize » Stann Creek District » Dangriga

Belizean Sunrise
Every morning we get to see the sun rise over the caribbean ocean...breathtaking.

Belize...home...so familiar...so welcoming...I can't tell you how happy I was when my feet stepped on to Belizean soil. Not that I didn't like Honduras, because I truly did. I was just ready for friends, fellowship, English! So I had a couple of days to relax and do a little trip set up before Jennie and Jason (my co-workers) arrived. The village we were ministering in was Dangriga. A quite, calm village right on the coast. It's about a 2.5 hour drive south of Belize City. And that drive is absolutely gorgeous, driving through mountains passing villages. I was super excited [View Full Entry]

Estudiando en La Ceiba Central America Caribbean » Honduras » La Ceiba

Cloud Forest
I get to see this every day here in La Ceiba! God´s creation...amazing!

First Week 1-9-07 So I´m here in La Ceiba, Honduras. After being on the road the past week I feel like I´m now on the home stretch! It´s nice to settle down and unpack my things. Although it's the 3rd largest city in Honduras, the city itself doesn´t have a lot to offer, but it´s surroundings do! Just outside La Ceiba there are tons of beautiful sites! 1-14-07 I finished my first week of spanish classes at Escuela de Espanol Pico Bonito . Learning slowly but surely. My class is 4 ho [View Full Entry]
