School's out. Well... some of us are waiting for Session C to start.
I must say we had a wonderful semester and ended it with a fabulous trip to Monterey. With all the things learned, we want to look forward to a great summer w/ another fun-filled Kairos trip coming up.
Yesterday night was a wonderful night in which the students who are still here in Berkeley hosted the staff to a wonderful potluck dinner. From Liz and Bethany's vegetarian lasagne to Kevin Tan's 'cinnamon delight,' we experienced cuisine at all levels (James' Chinese Chicken to Hung and Eugene' good ol' American porkchops). Not to also overlook Casper's green bean desert, the student's exceeded all expectations especially over one staff's earlier comment, "Will the food be edible??"
Then we had a nice time of praise and worship, acknowledging all the blessings we've received from God this past year. It was a very, very moving and nice time. Full Kairos One band will be formed soon enough!
We ended the night with each of us sharing a 1 month commitment (just 1 month) of a particular 'fast' that would instill greater discipline and help us steward our time this summer. From sweet tooth 'addiction' to videogaming, we acknowledged things that can be removed from our lives, that would be of great benefit to us, in an effort to replace such activity with more edifying things.
Other fun activities we enjoyed this semester - a schnazzy chocolate fondu night after Bible Study. Mmm... yummy!
A neat dinner on the patio outside of the Y, as we say au revoir for a little while to Annie who will be studying abroad one semester in Brazil! We'll miss you, Annie!
