The Garden in My Heart (or not)

If you ever look at a happy photo of the Ostrands and think to yourself, “Wow they have it together...what a nice family!”

I urge you to think again (although it is possible that Karl may have it all together, and I can confirm he is really quite nice).

I am, unfortunately, sure that I may have it only “somewhat together” 9% of the time and am not actually all that nice. Read blog...

 

Coach, Don't Ever Leave Me Again

Karl was excited to attend Ubuntu's camp to kick off the soccer season.

Zimo put his arms around Karl and said, "Coach, don't ever leave me again!" Read about soccer...

Biznaries

Julie had fun presenting long-term business strategies to our organization.

She introduced a new term "Biznaries" (missionaries who do business...or business people who do missions). She will help create a training track for biznaries! Read about business and missions...

 

 

Wow...a Hard Landing! Getting settled. Almost.

- Car - We feel so blessed by everyone who gave one-time donations recently! We put this into replacing our old truck with a much more reliable vehicle. See our car...

- House - We've just found a house to rent and will move in March 1st. Read more about our "hard landing" and first month back in Africa...

The Girls...

- Jensen has settled in well to second grade! We tried to main-stream Emme (with a facilitator to help one-on-one) but the class sizes were just too big. Read about the girls...

Note: Julie did not have email for the whole month of January, so she is just now catching up on correspondence, even from the end of last year. If you are waiting for a response from her, she will be in touch soon!
