Lots has happened since last time I wrote to you. I’ve been to Dorset,
Swansea, Aberystwyth, Wrexham, Quinta, Llandrillo, Caernafon among
other places! I had a really great weekend with family and friends in
Dorset as we celebrated the wedding of Dan and Chess back in
October. The weekend after that my family came for a short holiday in
Anglesey, meaning I was able to enjoy spending some more time with
them and they could see what it is like up here.
Life in Bangor is getting more and more normal. One of the real
highlights of the past few weeks has been developing friendships with
Bangor students and with people in the church I have joined. Although
things can be tough, especially when I have a day off and realise that I
don’t have much to do outside of work!

What has God been saying to me?

Lots! Everyday I am reading, listening to and studying God’s word. It’s a
real privilege to be able to devote so much time to such precious stuff. I
don’t want to become spiritually fat, but to be able to apply what I learn Una and I at the wedding
