Saturday, 13 June 2009. Football game in Abuja. A couple weekends ago, a group of us travelled to Abuja to watch the Nigeria vs Kenya qualifier game for the 2010 World Cup. I've never even watched a soccer game on TV and here I am travelling the 4 hours to Abuja to watch two African teams compete for a spot in the World Cup. We stuck out a tad at the stadium, and the Nigerians were all pretty excited to see a bunch of white people dressed up in Nigerian jerseys at the game. Lots of excitement. And not ve...

Saturday, 31 October 2009. Lagos was okay otherwise. I did some training with some of our partners there, teaching them how to properly implement and complete the surveys, as well as how to enter the data once the surveys are complete. For the rest of the time. I read. Which is never a bad thing. I finished two books! First novel I've read in. I can't remember how long) and The Art of Prayer. Both were good, in their respective categories. The Three Musketeers. That means no money! That means no future!

Sunday, 20 December 2009. I just wrote this on Facebook, I think it sums up things for me. It sure does suck to say goodbye (forever? To the country and the friends that have shaped my life for basically the past two years. On the other hand, saying hello again to friends and family that will shape my future is pretty darn exciting. Feelings are funny.". How could I try to pay for myself? Just shows you how little one can really learn of a culture even after a combined 16 months of living in it. Bit easi...

Tuesday, 6 December 2011. Am I a photographer yet? I've finished off another photo class, this time I took one on architectural photography. (The last course I took was Photography 101). This class was pretty interesting and I took it for the reason that it's something I wouldn't likely be learning on my own or by my assisting Ewout for Open Photography. Oh, did I not mention that I'm an assistant? Changed my mind. But it does have some neat features! For the second assignment, we went to Christ's Church...

Saturday, 30 May 2009. Starting Monday I hope to take a Hausa class. Hausa is one of the hundreds of languages spoken in Nigeria ( languages. Not just dialects.) But Hausa is one of the more common languages in this area. So, that class is ever morning Monday-Friday for the next six weeks. Hopefully I'll be able to say more than just 'hello' after all that. We'll see how it goes, since it means I'll only be working half days for the next six weeks, as well as taking a month off when Julia comes (yay!

Wednesday, 21 September 2011. The last time I wrote a blog post was almost two years ago and I was about to leave Nigeria. (In case you only new me through this blog, I'll end the two-year long suspense: I made it home! A couple things have changed since December 2009. I got married, for one. And since I'm no longer living in Nigeria, I'm sure I'll have a harder time keeping an audience! Who wants to read a blog about some 20-something living in Hamilton anyway? We'll see how long I can keep it up! Simpl...

Sunday, 20 September 2009. If you're a part of Burlington Fellowship congregation and you read the bulletin this morning (during collection, if you're like me.) then some of this will be a repeat for you. But I might just throw in something new, so don't leave! There'll probably be a witty remark or two, so you'd me missing out, really. If you didn't read last week's post, you should probably do that first, or else this won't make all that much sense. Now, onto the blog. Then Jesus was lead by the Spirit.

Saturday, 24 September 2011. Given the two year gap in updates, this has given me an opportunity to look over the past couple years on the changes that have happened. What changes, you ask? Well,it just so happens I've got a whole blog just about that! I left Nigeria 'single', got engaged then married! I plan on having a post about the proposal later. After getting married, we thought we should get our own place. We're currently living down the 'mountain' in Hamilton in an apartment and loving it! Down t...

Tuesday, 24 March 2009. Another quote from our devotional. The mind of Jesus led Him not to glory first, but to death.". Every time I strive to obtain recognition as a good Christ-follower through my works or deeds on Earth, I essentially think I can achieve more than Christ did in His life. I catch myself doing this a lot; trying to impress people with all my 'accomplishments'. What accomplishments? What have I done to deserve any glory? This is going to be hard.
