One week to go

Katarina leaves home officially next week as she begins her life as a university student at Otago. She is undergoing a grueling preparation regime that involves several hours a day on the internet, some catch up time with friends, and a thorough immersing in contemporary cultural issues via television. She has yet to pack up her room or make a list of what she might need to take south, but it is early days after all.
Janine is back into school life, head librarian this year and still helping with Girls' Brigade on Tuesdays. She is also interested in archery, and is a peer support person. Last week these two things meant a trip out to the Year 9 camp at Raincliff.
Zach is Head Technician at Gleniti, which will not surprise anyone who knows Chris. He is busy playing futsal on Wednesdays, and refs two games a night.
Hannah continues to be often late to school, there are just too many distractions in life.
We've had a couple of busy weeks at work, and celebrated 5 baptisms last Sunday which was rather lovely.
We had a combined service so all the ministers were there for a change.
