Conferece in Canada (Toronto/Midland)


I have not been updating the blog regularly because things have been rather busy. One thing keeping me busy was that in October and November I had four conferences in three countries. The first was in Midland, Canada. It was on the martyrs of East Asia and New France. I had an amazing time and learned a lot.

My car broke down at 1am on the way back from the airport. Thanks be to God I was not far from the toll station and the people there were really nice and helped me direct AAA to my car. I got home and slept for an hour and then went off to teach.
