What is a Mennonite?
My facts maybe somewhat off but approximately 7,700 Mennonites from Manitoba (including the Blumenort area) and Saskatchewan emigrated to Mexico and Paraguay between 1922 and 1927. *If I made any mistakes, please correct me!* The primary motivation for this migration was to maintain their traditional way of life and control over their education, which they […]

We have several Mikrotik switches that have Layer 2 hardware acceleration. I do have some experience with Mikrotik devices, I’m MTCNA certified (Mikrotik Certified Network Associate); a special […]
The Greatest man who ever lived
There are a lot of things I could post about, but there is one thing more important than the rest – that is the story of Jesus Christ. Growing up in a Christian family, I learned about the bible at Sunday School and from Sunday morning services. I gave my life to God at an […]

In the Word.
I’ve never read my bible from cover to cover, although I’ve studied the scripture, I’ve never labored over the word as I should have, so that is a change worth making. My personality is such that I don’t like to undertake something if I don’t think I can do it (it’s not a laziness thing […]
Summer is over :(
Hi, It feels like our summer was really short… it was so smokey for such a long time in the beginning of summer that we really didn’t get to enjoy the outside as much as we normally do. In this picture we are enjoying Blumenort Fun & Fair days – once of the best days […]
