christmas news
do you like the family portrait taken by our pal bob? the shooting was specially arranged to capture a snap of all the mckinnon and harris grandchildren for ruth's dads 70th birthday. as we are seldom caught on camera together we thought we would have a shot in front of the camera for the blogspot.... yes, disappointingly joni IS taller than me!
adi has now finished two courses at ICC and passed both ~ one in old testament and the other in new. the preparation and reading was both rewarding and very demanding and sitting exams for the first time since the teens was scary! next year at ICC he plans to take four more courses and is looking forward to some mission training in 'cross cultural life and ministry' and 'christianity in africa'.
ruth has handed in her notice at the glassford nursery and enroled on the north lanarkshire supply list. she was not gaining sufficient experience at the private nursery and is looking forward to some challenging work around the local authority region and better preparation for the kindergarten in moshi.
ashley is working very hard towards her phsychology degree and has formally applied for a post-grad position on the primary teaching course at glasgow university. if successful, this would qualify her after a further year and if possible she would like to join the family in moshi before embarking on her teaching career. she in enjoying the independance of student flat life but we are glad to have her home at weekends when she returns to strathaven for her saturday job in the local opticians.
joni has at last entered the world of work when he secured a lucrative position as 'shelf stacker' at the local co-op. applications have been submitted to the dollan baths in ek and the local swimming pool for life guard. i am sure he would prefer casually strolling round a pool in a pair of shorts to humffing crates of beans!! he is working hard, allegedly for his highers and is looking forward to his prelims in january.
daniel is enjoying the privileges of being a 'big boy' now ~ yf, encounters etc. and is excitedly awaiting christmas.
