deadlines!

Marc and I both have our first assignment due in Friday of next week. All new students at ANCC have to do something called "The Acts Assignment" ... which you have probably guessed is about the Book of Acts! It's a good idea, as it helps the new students to get back into essay-writing and see what skills they need to work on, and it also takes mission as its theme, which couldn't be much more appropriate for a missionary training college!

We feel quite blessed that we studied Acts in our church's ITEA group (a group which met together to do theological studies) three years ago, and then studied it again in our church Bible studies last year. Reading through it again for the assignment was like spending time with an old friend! On the other hand, it does put pressure on us a bit, as we really ought to do well in it.

I also have my first lot of Advanced Hebrew translation exercises to hand in on Thursday, so I'm pretty busy at the moment. Not too busy to enjoy our surroundings though! We went for another family walk this morning.

This is the view from our front door at 8.30am:
