It's been a busy few weeks here in Oxford, but we've seen the God's hand at work in our lives recently in several ways:
1) Amy has determined what her thesis topic will be! Her working title is "Septuagint Isaiah and its Relationship to the Issues of Alexandrian Jewish Identity." Watch out John Grisham - this is going to be a page-turner! Seriously though, Amy is excited about this research and can fill you in on more details. She'll be working on this paper throughout the year as she completes her other coursework.
2) Johnny has been invited to help with the training of the short-term mission teams that will go out from St. Aldates! Last Sunday was Missions Sunday at the church and more than 60 people signed up for eight mission teams scheduled for next spring and summer. Training will take place from January through March, covering the biblical foundation of mission, intercultural studies, and team dynamics.
3) Emily is really enjoying her pre-school three mornings a week. It has been an adjustment, as she originally struggled with the thought of going to school. We had some rough mornings, and drop-offs were not fun. However, in the last two weeks she has become friends with a couple of the other little girls and looks forward to going! She is learning so much and we are thankful for this breakthrough!
