Weekly Re-Cap
I don't have very much to talk about this week. Over 3 weeks ago, I caught a cold. Last week I thought I was getting over it, but it seemed to start making a comeback by the weekend. So I went to the doctor, and it turns out I have a sinus infection. So this week I've...
Weekly Re-Cap
I'm at Starbucks right now, where I just ran into an old friend. One thing I'm enjoying about being back in Canada is randomly running into old friends and acquaintances whenever I'm out in public. My hometown is just small enough that it happens pretty much every...

Weekly Re-Cap
Last week's re-cap was written on a boat somewhere in the Bay of Fundy during a storm. Obviously I arrived safely in Nova Scotia, but it was a rough ride. So rough, in fact, that they couldn't dock securely enough to let the vehicles drive off, and we had to wait...

Weekly Re-Cap
Life has been anything but normal lately. In late December and early January I was, of course, transitioning back to life in Canada and enjoying some downtime over the holiday season. Then, last week I was in Indiana for some training at our missions headquarters....

Last Weekend in Nagoya (Re-Cap & Photo Gallery)
This past weekend I finished my first two-year term as a GP missionary in Japan. I had a good weekend spending time with friends: Saturday morning, I went out for breakfast with a former classmate from Japanese school and then ran some errands. Then it was back to the...
Christmas Party
Well, I've safely arrived back in Canada after a really long day of traveling yesterday. Since I was up super early due to jetlag, I had the time to do some photo sorting and editing. So this and the next post will bring you up-to-date on some recent events, in words...
