Hi from Down Under! Received on 20 April 2002 Sherry sent me the site for the class a couple of weeks ago, and I was thrilled to be able to catch up on who's doing what in 2002! Then Sheri invited me to write something also. I feel a bit " out of it" since I didn't actually graduate from Morrison, but the memories are great, and I feel privileged to be able to share with you all these years later! After I left Taiwan in 79, I continued my schooling in Australia. After completing a one year nursing course, I qualified as an enrolled nurse in July 85 and married a week later. My husband Tom, worked as a carpenter with the South Australian government until he left as a result of back injury, occuring before we met. Fast forwarding to 2002, I am now a full time wife and mother to Alexandra (15) Georgina (13) Joshua (12) and Thomas (10). I nurse with a nursing agency a couple times a year in order to keep my nursing registration current, but I also assist a sports chaplain with secretarial work. He was a chaplain at the Sydney 2000 Olympics, and also part of the Australian Paralympic Team as Team Chaplain. Since the Games, his role has increased, and so has the part I play to support he and his wife in their full time sports ministry. My husband now works as a sales assistant at Bunnings, a large hardware store selling power tools etc. We are very involved with our church of about 200 members. I play the flute each Sunday while Georgina is a lead singer, and Joshua plays the base guitar. We count it a privilege to serve our Great God. Besides being a mother, I would say that my biggest accomplishment in life is riding my push bike froom Adelaide to Sydney (1500 km) with a group of 35 other cyclists, averaging 150 - 200 km each day. We raised money to assist the production of the Bible in Auslan - Australian Sign Language. I have been involved with Bike for Bibles for about 10 years, firstly as a road support crew and then as a rider. Bike for Bibles raises money for literacy projects around the world, and I am looking forward to the time I reach heaven and meet people who have found the Lord as a result of learning to read using a simplified Bible story, telling of the love of the Lord. Well, I think that's all for now! I'd love to hear from you. My address is alldaze@chariot.net.au. I may not see any of you on this earth again, but for those of you in God's family, I'll look forward to catching up with you in heaven! Amy |
