Why Blog?
Why blog? And particularly for foreign Christian workers, is there any particular reason to blog? Over the last two or three weeks I’ve been working on a 10-minute presentation on that topic. It’s mainly to be shared with our colleagues here, but since I’ve prepared it, I may as well share it here on my blog, too. If you have a modem connection, you may need to put the video on pause after you start it, then wait until it finishes loading before viewing it. If you have a faster connection, you should probably view the higher resolution version instead. If you have any trouble viewing the video, please let me know what kind of problems.
For more information on blogging for missionaries (or on missionaries who blog), check Missionary Blog Watch, lots of good info and links there.
Oh, yes, the important news. First, we finally have a teacher for Luke! The past two weeks has been great as Luke has had consistent teaching & fun with this young guy. More details later. Second, baby Abigail went to her new adoptive parents on Friday. As usual, it has been a hard adjustment for Barb and even I’ve been missing her. We probably won’t take care of another baby this year since Saralynn’s is coming soon, but then, who knows.
Tomorrow is a holiday and we’re having all our missionary co-workers over for brunch. Barb says we’re expecting 28 including kids, quite a bunch.

Hey Mike,
If you happen to run into anyone from the Crazy Texas Team or the Christian Wrestling Federation over the next week or so, be sure and grab some pics and tell them Blundell says, “Shake and Bake” and let them know we’re praying for them.

Missionary blog tip: Why Blog?…
Dr Mike of Kids’ Doc in Jos recently (ok, this past September) created a presentation about blogging for missionaries entitled “Why Blog?”. He graciously agreed to……

Hey, that was an outstanding video. I have been surprised that more missionaries have not embraced blogging. I know of no better communication tool. I agree that regular e-mails should be also sent–but currently my regular e-mails end up sending people to the blog for more details.
