Hey, did you know that it was the Month of the Bible in Spain in March?  Well, it was.  Check out what the Bible Society in Spain had to say about it (in Spanish).

Actually, a number of different countries celebrate Bible months or weeks – for example, for Australia it’s in May.  In the Philippines, I believe it’s January.  I’ve heard it’s September in Peru.  Do you have one in your country?

Anyway, here’s one missionary report on Bible Month in Spain, and what happened – ¡Día de la Biblia!

I’ve added some more new bloggers to the brand new missionary bloggers page (which is still under construction – I have another 30 or 40 blogs I want to add).  Of course they’re new in the grand scheme of things – these are missionaries who started blogging in 2008 or later.

I don’t usually post things like this, but because so many missionaries and friends of missionaries read this blog, I thought you might enjoy hearing The Truth about St Patrick. If there’s any day of the year that’s especially for missionaries – I would say today would be a good candidate.

Being always honest and frank, I would love to share with you a little about the ins and [...]

The life of a missionary is one of change – within change.  This is an excellent post out of Ecuador that talks about normal – the constantly changing normal.
