Hurrah! An Update From Devonshire Hall, Leeds University

Hey Guys! Very Sorry the site hasnt been updated in quite a while, with lots of university preparation being done, i've not had much time over the summer to have updated the site .... until now i'm actually at uni and have found a free pc in the local cluster.

On my journey to Leeds, i felt quite relaxed about leaving home to be at university in a dingy typical student room, until the signs on the M1 started saying " Leeds 10 miles". At that point it became pretty much reality that i was not going to return home properly til well like christmas!! Whoa! :S

But i've now settled in really well, made some good mates including another christian lad who in fact lives on the same floor as me!! He also plays saxophone, so - there are two christian musicians? on the same floor. FANTASTIC!

Freshers week (last week) was a nervous week at the start but after the first night social things got a lot easier as i made the mates i'm with now and also found out that an old mate of mine from QM Girls is also here in the hall!!! (whats the chance of that?!?!) Yes i've been down the union quite a bit, yes drinking a few pints - not getting drunk - and having a good time with the mates i've not only met in dev (my hall), but also the mates from my course. :) There's a nice group of us who socialise together really well and have already met up a few times outside the academic meetings.

The Christian Union here in Leeds is really really good, i've been to the first meeting and it was a great time - the entire tent was packed to the brim. Yesterday (sunday 26th) i went to church with some of the other christians i have met (incuding my neighbour) from dev. and other CU students i met during the week. The Service was fantastic and i really felt God say during the service whilst watching a grown lady get baptised that I haven't come to Leeds, God Has brought me to Leeds.

This obviously must mean that there is something in store for me, as it appears to be his main plan! - Watch This Space!?

Right. I've spent long enough on here typing away, better go socialise and let someone else use the internet .

Take Care everybody, remember, Jesus Loves You.

love you all (as well) Andy Benton, Student.
