Who are we?

If you have stopped by this blog,

but aren't familiar with both Joy and I,

you might be wondering exactly who we are...

I guess the quickest answer,

 and one I don't think Joy would mind,

is that we are two crazy women

who love Jesus, orphans and Africa!

We are praying that we can do something about

 all three of those in the next few months!

Joy and I met 17 years ago when I was doing

my student teaching in Kindergarten. 

My cooperating teacher was the most amazing woman...

she was also Joy's mom.

Our paths have crossed many times over the years

and in the meantime, she married Javi

and had a couple of children. ;o)

If you are counting... that is 8 little green Kolfe shirts,

1 in the cooker, and 1 at Kolfe.

I am exhausted just looking at this photo,

but Joy has the energy of the Energizer Bunny,

and a heart the size of Texas!

You can't spend time with this woman

without a bit of Jesus rubbing off on you!

Ephrem Jonathan, is Joy's Kolfe son.

John and I have been married 17 years,

and have 4 kiddos, Kyle and Kristelle in our home...

and Emnatu John and Mezgebu John
 in our hearts at Kolfe.
