Memory Verses
As I child often went to after school programs at church and as I grew up I helped out from time to time. One thing that I remember from those moments were the memory verses, I enjoyed listening to children as they tried their best to recite the verse from the previous session. I feel [...]
The last couple months
My second semester at the University of Laval will be over in two weeks! The University also has a five week intensive course through the month of May and the beginning of June. I applied for this course months ago and also for a bursary from the government of Ontario that would pay for the [...]
Prayer Challenge 2008
We all know how difficult it can be to remember to pray for our friends and family, especially those we don’t see on a daily basis. As we prepare to leave for Guinea one of our greatest hopes is to have a dedicated group of individuals who will pray for us on a regular basis. [...]
April – wow!
I’m astonished to find myself an hour and a half away from the month of April! I feel like hardly no time has passed at all since we returned to Québec from our Christmas break in California. The start of April means that I have less than a month before the end of my second [...]

Relax (and recuperate)
I wrote almost a week ago about about Debra’s sore throat and I’m glad to say that she’s finally starting to feel better. It got pretty bad and I didn’t hear a word out of her for days. What she needed was plain old rest. But as most of you can relate to plain old [...]
