Yet another year has flown by and its hard to believe it is February already. We both had a good Christmas break up in the Blue Mountains for a couple of weeks visiting with family and friends. We then continued up to Kempsey to stay with Keiran’s Grandparents and visit his extended family and Corinne’s in Port Macquarie. It was good to spend some time with Keiran’s parents as they are leaving to return to the Mission Field of Zambia in March.

Both of us finished our 2010 studies with flying colours. Keiran sat over 20 exams, both in-house and government ones, and passed every single one of them—a tough ask since the pass mark is 75%. Corinne also passed her subjects with two distinctions and a high distinction (two B’s and an A).

Keiran is now back at Coldstream, just starting his third week. Now that he has finished all his theory for aircraft maintenance, this year will be almost exclusively practical. He has already worked on several jobs such as propeller repairs, 100hr inspections and maintenance tasks (similar to a cars full service but much more thorough!) He is really enjoying being out of the classroom, but the heat the first week in which was over 40 degrees in the hangar made him wish that maybe he was still in the classroom. However the weather has cooled down again now and the feeling of Autumn coming is in the air.

Corinne started back at La Trobe this week, doing Spanish, Screenwriting and Publishing and Editing. She has also already started doing some work experience with the Salvation Army’s Warcry magazine. She has done proofreading, editing testimonies and wrote an article last week, which should come out at the end of March. Corinne is having so much fun doing this, and hopes it will lead to some work in the near future.

We are writing this newsletter from the living room of our new house. In January we moved into our new abode, a 4 bedroom house which we are sharing with three other people. The other three live upstairs in the main living area and we live downstairs in what used to be a rumpus room, but have now turned it into a large bedroom with study and lounge area. We are very happy here with so much more space and freedom. Two of the people living with us are also students at Coldstream, Emma and Luke, whilst Erin attends ACU and is studying Theology.

We have been enjoying our time attending Lilydale Baptist church. Keiran is involved with running sound, Corinne still works at the Mustard Tree Op-Shop Cafe and we are planning on starting and leading a small group starting this week.

We are thankful to all who prayed for Corinne to get a job. In September, she began working at Ainsworth Estate Winery as a waitress at their restaurant. This lasted for three months, however unfortunately the restaurant closed down in December. Both of us are now looking for jobs as Keiran will have much more time this year, since his study load is far less. So all those who were praying last time we would really appreciate those prayers again!

We have been blessed again just this week with being awarded a scholarship of $1000 by the Annabel Charitable Foundation to go towards Keiran’s Tuition fees.

We would like to thank everyone for their prayers and support in our mission training and look forward to seeing many of you on our trips up north and hearing from you.

Prayer Points:

· Corinne & Keiran can both get casual work.

· We will both continue to do well at college/uni.

· God will guide us in the decisions we will have to make over the next 10 months in regards to starting Keiran’s pilot training next year and financial concerns.

· God will continue to strengthen our marriage and our relationships with Him.
