Well it seems that often I have to start my posts with an apology for our lack of posts. Once again, very sorry to our dedicated followers!
We have arrived in Tassie and are settling into life in Kingston. It feels both strange, and nice to be back 'home' in Tas. Strange in that Sydney in many ways also feels like home. But nice in that we have been very warmly welcomed here and things are familier to us.
It seems that time has gone by very quickly and we are not really sure what we have been spending our time doing. But with February upon us and as Marty starts his chaplaincy work, it feels that we are heading towards some normalcy now. Well as normal as things can be with lots of changes coming up this year...

Well the week of lasts turned into exams, graduation, & then packing. The latter of these continues with this being our last day in Sydney!!
People keep asking what our Sydney highlight has been. This is easily answered with "Bible College and learning about God every day." But otherwise it is very hard to pin down what we have loved about the place Sydney. What we have hated about Sydney is a lot easier: The traffic...the roads...the weather.
Its quite cliche but I'm guessing we wont know what we really love about the place until we are no longer here. Well not long to wait for that now. We hit the homeland in just 5 days!!

This week is very much a week of lasts. Last chapel, last church history lecture, last time of lining up for food, and so on.
The funny thing is you would think that finishing up would give us some confidence in what we have learnt. But if anything college has shown me that I am a mere human, and don’t know much, and never will!! So the feeling of inadequacy is definitely there at the moment.
But there are also lots of other strange feelings. Like the fact that we realise we are really going to miss the strange place that is Bible college.
We are going to miss the three sermons a week we are privileged to hear. We are going to miss the constant learning about the Bible. We are going to miss eating our meals with 100 other people.
This has lead to this week of lasts being a rather emotional week, and not just cause exams are just around the corner!
