Family News

Laurence: Hi. One memorable  day recently was holding a gold ingot worth £307,000. It was on display at the Bank of England museum. I visited it with my dad and grandma. She used to work there.
   I’m looking forward to some missions trips: Pescara in Italy at half-term, then Glasgow for Commonwealth Games. In August I hope to go to Senegal to help plant trees to stop the desert spreading further. Exams ongoing..



Jerome: Hi. Now I have a long period of revision until my first exams in late May and early June. My baptism went really well and I believe God worked through me and others in the church to really explain the reason for baptism to non-believers from university! 

I've been in Scotland with the Officer Training Corps recently, walking in the Cairngorms, with extra weight on my back  to train for my ascent of some high peaks in the Andes this summer. This week was harder than imagined due to gale force winds. Then I spent time in Wigtown with the Robinsons; family friends of ours, who have a livestock farm. The aim was to get my hand back in to some manual work but I got sinusitis, then twisted my ankle! So only managed a bit of work, some revision, and just having fun! :)



Maria: It’s been a busy time since I last wrote with university work, paid work and socialising. In April Netty Hayes came to visit me in Hull and I got to show off my cracking University and city. Easter weekend was spent in Otley with family and boyfriend Tom; we had a lovely weekend and a beautiful day out walking in Malham on Easter Monday. The following week I went to Italy to visit a friend on her year abroad in Perugia. I had a fantastic time and visited Florence and Rome on the day of the double canonisation – what timing! 
Now it’s back to work as I come to my final essay deadlines and exams…less than 6 weeks and it ‘s all over!!! Time flies!:
