It is time again to revive the weekly status updates. Originally these were created by me and specifically for me that I could see that tasks were being completed and that if they weren’t, that I would be publicly shamed into being more diligent. However after I left Spain in May 2007 it seemed pointless to [...]

Intermittent Status Update, April 22nd
April 22nd, 2008 · 2 Comments
I try to never start writing, feeling guilty about not have written something for a while, but now after having been nearly a month in North Africa surely there must be something to report? People have been asking. Yet the truth is that I don’t have that much exciting news. I have stayed between the [...]

Intermittent Status Update, March 7.
March 7th, 2008 · Comments Off
Today I realized that it was Friday and that normally on Friday’s back when I had some sort of schedule or routine (well over a year ago) I would write some sort of week in review. In part it was so that people I care about could know what I was up to but mostly [...]

I am moving to Spain on February 6th. All the details are coming together. I have all the paper my organization requires taken care of (minus the RRSP fund setup), support money just rose to 100% today (and it could go higher), my car is nearly sold and for a decent price (in spite of [...]

Mid-January Status Update
January 12th, 2008 · Comments Off
Now that 2008 and more specifically January are in full effect, I feel obliged to share a few things which I deem very pertinent to those who bother to read this.
First, I mailed off my application for residency in Spain to the Spanish consulate in Toronto in a traceable package that arrived at it’s destination [...]

New Years Day Intermittent Status Update
January 1st, 2008 · Comments Off
I wasn’t really waiting for 2008 because I knew that when it came I would feel guilty about how little I accomplished in the last year (I’ve only really worked four non-consecutive weeks since last April) and yet, now that it’s here I really do feel proud of all that’s happened.
I journeyed to the depths [...]

A rundown of whats happened and what’s happening
I shared in my Church two Sundays ago on October 28th. It wasn’t flashy, I just talked, but it was well recieved and I am know more than half way through raising the support that I need to return to Spain. I do, however, anticipate that the second [...]

I have a few things to report. The first is that while Avant has not yet officially re-appointed me to full missionary status, I have received permission to begin support raising. Which brings me to the biggest announcement that I have to make this morning: I am returning to Spain to work in more or [...]

Odd Job Jamie, Status Update for Monday, September 10th
September 10th, 2007 · 1 Comment
I finished my eight week long road trip last Wednesday night (Sept. 6, 2007) at 22:40 and in all honesty, it was time. I really don’t think that I can handle more than six consecutive weeks of aimless wandering.
In the last five days since I finished my travels I’ve had my hands tied [...]

July 28th Intermittent Status Update
July 28th, 2007 · 1 Comment
I am currently situated in front of an aging Alaska Systems computer in Cuauthemoc, Mexico. I have now been living out of a car for the last two weeks and some advice that once read in a comic strip some years back is starting to ring very true.
Remember, you can always sleep in your car [...]
