The Ostertag's: March 2009

This quarters mens retreat was a great time to worship, be encouraged and encourage others. The topic was family and on Sunday several of the families came to worship and play together. God is truly using this quarterly retreat to bring change to men and families in Guadalajara.

There was some great prayer time. Men found others that needed prayed for and they just prayed. Wow God was moving in a big way!

It was a beautiful day only made more beautiful by several baptisms.

The families enjoyed a lot of time together including playing soccer and volleyball.

Kandi had a great time at the ladies retreat. She got pampered by FBC Fort Smith and she even got to see some friends from Costa Rica and Virginia that she hasn't seen for more than a year.

We want to give a great big thank you to Fort Smith and everyone else that made this retreat happen. It was a blessing to Kandi.

The ladies even got to fly back on the same plane as the Atlas team. That is a professional Mexican Soccer team.

Mckenzie has turned into quite a little gymnast.

Kaitlyn loves Gymnastics and is learning all kinds of new things.

We recently made it back to the zoo. They now have a new under water exhibit. There is all kinds of exotic fish and you feel like you are swimming with them.

The girls loved watching the polar bear swim.

We caught the bird show and saw the birds do all kinds of neat tricks.

The girls convinced Kandi to have a crazy dress day at school and I snuck a picture for the blog. The idea came from the school in Costa Rica where they had a similar kind of day once a month or so.

During this last month or so we had an opportunity to take the girls to see the Disney Princesses at the theater. We had a great time as a family and enjoyed spending the day together. Mickey, Minnie, Daffy, and Goofy hosted the plays.
