And now for the 2018 Walker Christmas letter with a brief summary of each member of the Walker household.
Johnny continued working nights as a loader at a FedEx Ground hub. He loaded trailers for the FedEx Ground semi-trucks you see on the highway up through November, then he took an operations manager position overseeing a team of loaders and occasionally still helps loading. (Chewy.com is not on the favorite list.) Working for a shipping company can lead to a love-hate relationship with the holiday season, but he still loves Christmas. Leaving for work at “O-dark” hour at night while the rest of the family is getting ready for bed is not enjoyable. Becky and Johnny often pass each other on the highway in the mornings as he is headed home to go to bed and Becky and Josie are headed to Hershey for work and school.
Becky continues in her role as a Gift Processor for Penn State University, working in Hershey. She works to record and receipt donations to the PSU Medical Center, especially the Children’s Hospital, Children’s Miracle Network and Four Diamonds. Weekdays can be crazy with work and getting Josie to and from school. Weekends are a welcomed sight along with housework, spending time with family and the occasional opportunity to quilt, crochet or tat.
Justin continues working for Appalachia Technologies. In his spare time, he enjoys rock climbing and the occasional hike. In July he spent 11 days in CA visiting his girlfriend (Rachel) and her family. Rachel came to PA for a visit during Thanksgiving.
Brianna continued as a student studying Elementary Education at Bob Jones University. She finished her sophomore year in the spring and began her junior year in the fall. During the summer she worked as a recruiter for JFC, a local job placing company. During basketball season, one of her campus jobs is to work as the team manager for the BJU Lady Bruins - which she really enjoys.
Josie finished her winter and spring at Hilltop Christian Nursery School and then in the fall began Kindergarten at Lancaster Mennonite School, Hershey Campus. She loves her school and does well as a student. There is never a dull moment when Josie is around. She continues to keep us young. 😃
Through all of the events of the year, it has again been amazing to see how God meets needs. God has continued to show Himself to be trustworthy and faithful. We continue to enjoy our Cedar Hill Baptist Church family. We also spent a long enjoyable weekend together as a family in DC.
If you are ever in the Harrisburg-Hershey-Carlisle area, or perhaps visiting Lancaster or Gettysburg, feel free to give us a call to see if we can get together. We are 1 hour from Baltimore and 1 1/2 hours from DC depending on traffic.
May you have a wonderful Christmas season and a very blessed new year.
