Greetings all,
I thought I'd quickly jot down a small blog for all those who are suffering an overdose of broad Australian accents, youthful exuberance and bad spelling. At least, I'm hoping that my spelling will be better :).
Time is rapidly running out for those who must needs return for the beginning of a new university semester and sadly, it is only now that some sense of normalcy is returning to the schedule at the BEC. As Jonno explained so eloquently, there has been some movement towards reviewing the old contact list with a view to revitalising its contents. This has yielded some results, although time will tell whether the responses on the phone are a real indicator of interest. We did however receive a visit from a very old contact, LeungSeng, which should give James Rass some nostalgia.
The great admin and maintenance extravaganza I ran this week was a limited success. I'm counting a limited success as beter than a failure, so it's fair to say that some things got done. I'm pleased to report that the contact database has been renewed and updated with all available data and the Armes' useful teaching matrix is in the midst of being updated with a couple of new resources. I'm hoping Sammy will get through that before she departs.
Josh and Sarah have just arrived and are very helpfully offering to be very helpful. As of yet, I have not had a chance to take advantage of their helpfulness and only limited work has been offloaded on them to date. Tommorow will see an offloading the likes of which they have never contemplated. I hope they have the necessary fortitude.
Miriam is in Siem Reap which has provided a fantastic opportunity to sleep without Tabitha in the room. Funnily enough, the Boo woke up last night and whinged so much I had to take him into my bed. He's grumpy this morning and is missing his Mother terribly. Fortunately, Dani is taking on a new role as the domestic at BEC while Loy moves onto a more administrative role.
Dorm students did a short test on the LRTBE course (at their own request) and despite one confusing question, quite a lot of them managed to score more than 70%. No-one got less than 60%. My Sunday School class in Aus - beware!!!!!!
Time to sign off, but God willing, I'll have more soon.
Michael
Seems like there is a lot to report, but it shall have to wait a little longer
