August 28, 2011

Two more days in Chicago. Yesterday, Rebecca and I had brunch with my cousin Michelle and her boyfriend. She lives here in Chicago. It was so great to see her and to know that she lives so close (about 20 minutes). She took us to a cafe that helps some of the homeless with job skills. And the food was GREAT!!

Then Rebecca had to go home. :( But she made it home safely. :)

Last night I was able to spend some time with my roommates. One is in the D. Min. program, the other Phd. They are from South Korea and India. We chatted for about an hour, just getting to know each other. It was great :)

This morning, I went to church with my roommates. The Vineyard Church of Hyde Park uses the LSTC chapel for its services. Then at 1:00 the "Transition to Seminary Retreat" began. We spent several hours learning about the different people who work at the seminary. We also spent about an hour and a half introducing ourselves to everyone there. Then we went to chapel and then there was a cookout. Tomorrow we are having a 'Breakfast Scavenger Hunt" and then walking around Hyde Park all day. They warned us to wear walking shoes and proper clothing for the weather. Oh, and to bring a Bible. There will be Bible study at some point.
