We have not been here before, so I am excited to have a city to explore and also to see lives changed by hearing the Gospel.Our flight was pretty easy.

Are You a Human?
As my Princess gets closer to four years old, it is funny to have conversations with her. She is learning well how to explaining herself, arguing her case, and just communicating more effectively.

Visit Montreal–Biodome

The Tropical Rainforest, our favorite ecosystem to visit, was humid, and … [Read more...]
