First post!

Can't believe how easy it was to set up this blog! Within a few minutes it was all done. It's great!

So here I am sitting in front of my keyboard and not entirely sure what to write. I don't even know who the heck I am writing to! So I guess I'll just ramble abit...

I guess you may have some vague interest in knowing what's going on with us? (Even if you don't, too bad!) Here we go:

Faith and I are right in the midst of exams. Faith has completed 6 exams (Greek, Revelation, World Religions, New Testament, Old Testament and History of Church Mission) with 2 (Biblical Theology and Doctrine) to go and I've done 5 exams (Greek, Hebrew, NT, OT and Church History) with 3 (Philosophy, BT and Doctrine) to go... yeah, more than half way there!

We finish this coming Thursday, have a week off and then we're heading off to ANU, Canberra for the AFES National Training Event where we'll be taking a strand 2 seminar group for the week and running an elective for international students. We'll be going with a big bunch of students from our church. After the 5 day conference at ANU, we're doing a 'mission' in a local church in Queenbeyan (just outside Canberra).

Phew! After that, which should be sometime in mid-December, we'll finally get a chance to have a break! We'll hang around here in Sydney until just after Christmas and, as has become customary for us, we'll make the journey up to Brisbane on Boxing Day.

Okay, Faith just read this and says it's very 'informative' - basically her nice way of saying it's really boring! Well... sorry! I'll sign off here I think and come back again soon with something more interesting...

Hi Faith and Ben,

It sounds as though your life has been extremely full and 'informative' to quote Faith. We may get to see you both at Mum's house when you come up.
God bless you both. From Carol Bourne
