Good times :-)

Sorry we haven't updated for a while. Been a busy few weeks with lots going on.

Last Friday the school hosted a cross country event where 3 other schools came and competed. The secondary course was 5km and the primary was 3km. It was great to see such team spirit and we were so pleased when Amano won overall for both primary and secondary! Jona and I helped with various tasks.

Last Sunday we had 'Rock Of Hope' Sunday School which went well and we focussed on the topic of prayer :-)
On Sunday night Jarrett and I (although mainly Jarrett) planned and organised our first 'borders fellowship'; a more informal church service in the evening for our boarders and other young people from the local area. Was a fun night which focussed on the theme of 'friendship'.

Jarrett and I were also excited because we got a new rug for T4:12 youth group! It will make it a lot easier for us then having to carry tonnes of little pieces!
I also managed to drive into town for the first time in a mini bus!! woopwoop. was pretty scary but very pleased i managed it :-)

Jona has had a busy week with writing reports for his students for both biology and chemistry. But we're both thankful that it's not as many as in England! He also had a successful 'student forum' meeting where the young people suggested ways that the school could get involved with helping other charities or offering charitable services in the local area.

I've had a fun week with the girls in the dorm. Did some mask making on Tuesday with the primaries.

Today I ran the school cross country course with some of the secondaries. I don't think they'd ever seen someone go so red! lol.

Next week is only a half week because of 'international womens' days on Thursday so we will have a long weekend off. We plan to go on a short break to a game park etc with some friends which will be exciting!
