As is our tradition, we spent the weekend before welcome week (8/17-19) up in Arnold, CA at Tawnie and Tamilyn Lee's parents' house. We worshipped, studied the word, prayed, planned a bit, rested, and of course had some fun. Only two minor injuries, a skinned knee (Jeremy) and a slightly tweaked ankle (David Kwon) came from the weekend. We drove up Friday evening, stopping at In & Out for dinner, and got in fairly late, so we prayed a bit together and then went to bed.

In the morning we had time with the Lord on our own and then came together to talk about leadership, where each of us might fit in, and planned a bit for the first couple weeks of school. We enjoyed an awesome sunny day in the 80s in the afternoon down at the river (swimming and chilling), and worshipped around a campfire that night. Then got up super early and made the 2 1/2 hour drive back to Berkeley in time for church!

It was a good time of refreshment and rest for all of us, as many were feeling a bit weary after a long summer of school, trip to East Asia, and College Life Summer Edition. It was great to grow closer to one another during our time as well. We definitely missed Jonathan and Andrei being there, but they've since jumped in and really been helping out.

Thanks for your prayers! Looking forward to a great semester with these guys!
