Now I don’t know about other parents on their kids’ first birthday (and their first kid at that), but it was intense for us! I don’t think there was one person left in our home that we didn’t involve…(They are all secretly very thankful that we helped them discover their creative side). But yes, it [...]
Sara writes: A big Hi to you all! Introducing us three: Vincent; a sprightly German 26 year old, Sara: a 22 year old Spaniard, and our fat blubber ball Kaila who is one whole year old! It’s great to be able to talk to you all this way, and we hope you enjoy hearing about [...]
Vas writes: I have talked a bit about the different work and ministries that I’ve been involved in, but for this blog I’d like to talk about a bit of our recreation. As you know within The Family International and in our home there are a lot of young people and it goes without saying [...]
Wow, the last day at Mulago! A big team showed up today—perhaps 8 or 9 of us! After this week, I leave Uganda, so this would be my final day at the hospital. I thought maybe we could finish up today, but there’s still a little bit to do, which the rest of my team [...]

I’m gonna be sad to leave them! …But all good things must come to end…and we pick up and continue on! So the next time I send you a newsletter, [...]
Joni writes: I’ve started working out at the gym…two whole times so far!! Boy, am I a wimp. It’s tough! I am determined to faithfully go at least three times a week. Vas offered to watch the baby while I work out. I don’t know how he’ll find the time, I don’t know how I’ll [...]
WHO IS RICH? One day a wealthy man sent his son on a trip to the country with the purpose of showing him how poor people can be. The boy spent a day and a night in the farm of a very poor family. When he got home, his father asked him, “How was the [...]
The weddings in Nairobi were movie-perfect, except they were the real thing! The first one on Saturday was the marriage of a friend I’d known since childhood, and the next day was a twin-wedding! (With one of the brides being sister to the groom of the day before.) First though, we had to endure a [...]
