Yesterday was our last Sunday before we leave for Nicaragua on (very early on Friday). It was a chance to say goodbye to the people of our parish, to tell the younger children about our trip, and to have the congregation pray for us and our journey with the following prayer: A Blessing for Viaje Nicaragua: In ancient times the prophet Micah revealed that what the Lord requires of us is to do justice, to love kindness and to walk humbly with God. Our Lord Jesus Christ teaches us that we are to go into the world and proclaim good news to the whole creation. As we set out on our journey this week, may we be faithful to our calling as disciples of Jesus. May we by our words and actions bring good news to ... read more

It won't be long now until we leave on our journey to Nicaragua. Less than four weeks to go until March 11 and lots of packing and last minute arrangements to do before then. The project we will be working on is the building of a school in Bella Vista. The project has already started. The SchoolBox team recently met with the community to go over the project details and the first team of volunteers are on their way to help start the construction. Hopefully all will go well, so that when we go in March we'll be able to finish the school build.... read more

"We apologize for the delay, we attempt to give each customer as much personal attention as possible. Please hold for the next available customer satisfaction representative." So its Sunday before leaving for Seoul. I've packed and re-packed, and now I'm sitting on the couch trying to reach all of my credit card/bank/cell phone providers to let them know that I'll be leaving the country on Tuesday. Each wants to know my travel itinerary in detail. Great. Because I'll for sure know where I'll be in 6 months and 3 days from now. Scotiabank has been the best so far, very friendly, a bit too chatty, but knowledgeable nonetheless. Work was a bit surreal yesterday. All this month has been a whirlwind of wrapping up projects, passing things off, and dodging the proverbial bullet that would keep ... read more
