Under Open Skies: April 2011
http://underopenskies2.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Travelling abroad and adventuring with God. Thursday, April 28, 2011. Picnic at the Park. This past Monday was a national holiday for the Portuguese. 25 de Abril is a day where Portugal celebrates the Revolution in 1974, so due to everyone being off of work that day, our church in Loures decided it would be the perfect day for a picnic. Teaching the Youth how to play Baseball. Can you tell I was the "white sheep" on my team? Haha Our team won the game though, so that was awesome. Sunday, April 24, 2011.

Under Open Skies: December 2010
http://underopenskies2.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Travelling abroad and adventuring with God. Monday, December 27, 2010. With all that I felt I missed at home, I don't think I would trade it for my Christmas here in Portugal. This was a memorable Christmas. On the Eve of Christmas Eve, us Trekkers were spoiled by Doug and Myra. We thought we were showing up for a nice dinner with them, but instead we were surprised by a little Christmas dinner of Enchiladas, pumpkin roll and stockings! The lovely and always sweet, Doug and Myra. Us girls and Rosemary.

Under Open Skies: February 2011
http://underopenskies2.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html
Travelling abroad and adventuring with God. Monday, February 28, 2011. Nothing Profound, Just Life. The vision team has departed as of Saturday. We enjoyed a really good week with them - getting to know them, showing them Portugal and being encouraged by them. Despite the good week we enjoyed with them, we were all pretty tired by the end of it. But, I would do it again in a heartbeat. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited resources, he will give you mighty inner strength through his Holy Spirit. ...

Under Open Skies: Canadian Soil
http://underopenskies2.blogspot.com/2011/06/canadian-soil.html
Travelling abroad and adventuring with God. Tuesday, June 14, 2011. After a long 24 hour day of travel, I am happy to report that Team Portugal is back on Canadian soil. All of our luggage arrived safe and sound, including our very smelly baclahau :) It's good to be back here in Abbotsford, back at the Mark Centre. Oh how I missed these amazing beds! My sleeping schedule is a bit off, but hopefully that corrects itself over the next few days. More posts coming soon - I'm working on a couple!

Under Open Skies: March 2011
http://underopenskies2.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html
Travelling abroad and adventuring with God. Wednesday, March 30, 2011. T is 2am right now and I cannot sleep. My roommates are sound asleep and I have to admit I am jealous. So, in my sleepless state, I thought I would do some writing and share what has been on my heart as of late. If you are being obedient, you will find yourself in situations where you feel humanly inadequate of achievement. We are not living in the Spirit if we can manage everything.". Sunday, March 27, 2011. A Whirlwind of a Week.

Under Open Skies: Our Last Week in Portugal
http://underopenskies2.blogspot.com/2011/06/our-last-week-in-portugal.html
Travelling abroad and adventuring with God. Monday, June 6, 2011. Our Last Week in Portugal. We will also be spending a good chunk of time finishing up work projects, namely the Annexo renos and soaking up time with people we have come to love while being here. Last week, we occupied our time with a lot of these same things as well. The animals I drew were the giraffes, the hippos, the middle lion and the pigs. After we stepped back and admired our beautiful handiwork, we took a big bite of humble pie :).
