Friends

It was good getting away to Taupo last week. I know it was for study and hard work, but it was still nice to be somewhere different and new. Part of what made the week really good was meeting the Interns who go to the block courses in Wellington. It was the first and only time we'll all get together - except Grad, and even then Steve and Dan won't be there.
I love our Matamata group but it was nice to have some more diversity amongst the group. It did mean that there was more choice about who to hang out with. And also less time to catch up with some of the people I would have liked too. The fellowship with each other is really one of the best things about the year. It still amazes me how most of us have just clicked. I guess it's to do with our common experiences and desires for our lives. It's easy to be friends with each other this year, almost instant. We've come a long way from those first awkward hours together in February.

I think the challenge to stay connected will come next year ... when we'll all be busy with either ministry, work or further study and our compulsary attendance at block courses is no longer required.
