Newfoundland Adventures: February 2010
http://newfoundlandadventurers.blogspot.com/2010_02_01_archive.html
Saturday, February 13, 2010. There are some things we can learn from our Catholic brothers and sisters about helping and living with those in need. Check out www.catholicworker.org/communities/volunteers.cfm. Try reading about Dorothy Day. What if one lawn mower was shared by us all, or a garden was planted and tended by all of us to share in the bounty? What advantages would that bring to those of us in the group? What extra resources would that free up to help those who don't have? We rolled up about 1...

Newfoundland Adventures: April 2011
http://newfoundlandadventurers.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 17, 2011. Did I mention I need to post more! We continue to be challenged with the low literacy and tendency to violence here on the island. Very heart breaking issues which can from time to time be very discouraging. Your prayers for strength and wisdom in these particular areas would be most welcome. I will be in Ontario for a few days at the end of April and we will be in Ontario at the beginning of July for a wedding so would love to connect with those who can fit us in.

Newfoundland Adventures: November 2009
http://newfoundlandadventurers.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 25, 2009. On Sunday I spoke with someone at the Meeting House who mentioned that she checks out our blog regularly and that I hadn't updated it in a while. For those that do I apologize:) It was quite a humbling thought that people are reading this and supporting Ben and I in what we believe God has called us to do. Thank you! Home church has kindly agreed to allow us to Skype. Thanks so much to all who read and pray for the people of our new community,. Home for a visit. Home Church ...

Newfoundland Adventures: Encouragement and illness
http://newfoundlandadventurers.blogspot.com/2011/05/encouragement-and-illness.html
Monday, May 23, 2011. The rain is pouring down outside, our young friend has completed his para-medicine course and has just left us to return to Ontario (very sad), my Mum is cooking mushrooms for her supper and I am stuck in bed where I have been for over a week now! After saying goodbye to my new friends I then faced a barrage of questions from the kids about where the prayer came from - no it's not written somewhere, Jesus is God? Why did they do that? Why would they pray for us? What wonderful encou...

Newfoundland Adventures: September 2011
http://newfoundlandadventurers.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 16, 2011. The summer is over and it's back to school and shorter days again! We have had a busy but enjoyable summer (except for the weather) here on the Rock but are looking forward to a new school year and the new programs that is bringing at My Friend's Place. Also in August we ran a Vacation Bible School for grades 1-4 with the help of Forward Baptist Church. We are so blessed that we have such wonderful support from our faith family back home! We were offered the assistance of two ...

Newfoundland Adventures: October 2010
http://newfoundlandadventurers.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 26, 2010. My Friend's Place officially opened yesterday! These people want me to sit and talk with them not wait on them - definitely different for me but that is what we want to be able to do with people so we can share the gospel in our everyday conversations. Will update you all as the week progresses. Tuesday, October 5, 2010. Sorry for not updating you after hurricane Igor. We are alright! Bell Island was fortunate that we only had 150mm of rain and 150km/h of wind! MFP update: The ...

Sunday, May 23, 2010. Sorry we haven't done any communicating recently! We had such an amazing time with everyone coming here over the Easter weekend! It was amazing to have people here who talk easily about their commitment to Christ, their struggles and their triumphs in living for Him. And beyond that they accomplished sooo much at my Friend's Place! I left for Ontario before Jewel and Steph left NL to see my parents and attend Kevin's graduation in Winnipeg. It was great to see Kev again and cele...

Saturday, September 25, 2010. The house is full again - well not quite there's always room for more it all depends on how long you want to wait for the bathroom in the morning! There are also two girls, one from Ghana and one from Toronto, staying at a different home on the island that are working with the boys. They are quite the upbeat ladies and I am going to enjoy the four of them this fall! And in three months I need to help them like their veggies - sheesh! Saturday, September 18, 2010. We had a lo...
