This past month, I had the chance of a much needed break after activities week. Bingham took one week off for October break. I found it initially wasn't very relaxing, as not very many other teachers were heading outside of the city, something that I knew I needed to do for a proper break. There is always something happening around Addis which keeps me busy. On top of that, receiving emails about IT problems back at Bingham makes me think that I should be there as much as I can, trying to he...

I have just finished my first module with my bible class, and we're starting into Hebrews properly a week from Monday. Bible classes can be a little stressful at times, but I definitely do feel like God is continuing to he...
Wow! Quite a month. Apologies for the lack of updates recently. I've arrived back to quite a workload!!I got back to Addis Ababa safely at the start of the month, and got through customs and everything OK. This is always something to be thankful to God for, I have learned not to assume that things will be smooth every time. I had a couple of days to relax before I was due to start at Bingham.
