Germany

We have a nice little word-cloud on the sidebar here that shows which countries are mentioned the most.  This has a lot to do with how many bloggers there are in a country, how well they blog, how often they blog – things like that.

Once in a while I like to feature blogs from countries that are less often mentioned – so here are some posts from countries you haven’t heard from quite as much…

  • Back to Blogging (Albania):  It has been almost 9 months since I wrote on this blog! Yikes…. where did that time go? We have had a very busy several months which would take too long to catch you up on so I am going to settle for the highlights and get back to the story-telling of our ho-hum lives that we find fascinating!
  • Searching for a Good Drink of Water (Angola):  (VOA) A recent study from the Catholic University of Angola shows that well over 50% Angola’s population lacks access to safe water and sanitation. The study was carried out by experts from the Center for Studies and Scientific Research in Angola…
  • Alas… Camp is over! (Canada):  Well, we’ve come to the end of summer camps for 2011 – and a wonderful summer it was. It was a summer fraught with great challenges and great blessings… God is indeed Good! For those of you who have checked in…

  • Things I love about Germany:  Krista has started putting observations about Germany that she has been having as we’ve returned to our small village after being in America for a year on Facebook. Here’s the…

Happy 5 Year Blogoversary!

It’s time to congratulate those who have completed 5 years of blogging!  5 years is still a good old age for a blog – in fact, these blogs are still older than this site (which started in 2005).

I’ve done this in the past, but I’m not sure if I’ll do it again – the more time goes by the more blogs are celebrating!  But here it is, at least one more time – Happy Blogoversary!

Time to learn something…

14 May 2009

This is kind of an eclectic "learn something" post.  Learn about some of the struggles missionaries face, learn about the people they interact with, and the cultures they’re in – and if you’re interested in Chile, you can even ask some questions!

Ah, the legendary experience of language learners with young children.  You know, the little sponges.  Oh, and here’s some more about the joys of learning a [...]

What’s old is new again…

30 October 2006

I like to write about new missionary blogs here in order to give them a bit of a “boost” as they start out in the great big world of cyberspace.  However, not all of the blogs that are added to the aggregator are new.  As a matter of fact, many are not – they’re old [...]
