Scenes from ISF at LTS up on TFS

One of the crazy things about my new job is all the acronyms.  Here are just some of the ones I deal with on a daily basis:
MMF/NIC/ LTS / GM / ELCA/ FELM / HK/ IMM/ LWF/ DMS/ TFS/ ATEM/ MIT/ NMS/ CAN

but one of my favorites is the 
LTS-ISF 
(Lutheran Theological Seminary - International Student Fellowship)


Here are some scenes from recent LTS-ISF activities:

This is actually just a scene from the celebration for the ground breaking for the LTS expansion project, but I wanted to tell you about it as one result will be a bigger cafeteria, with some outdoor seating.  yay!

LTS-ISF sponsors a monthly birthday bash! Those with birthdays are supposed to share some words of wisdom from the vast  treasure house of knowledge they are accumulating as they age.

The approach of winter means some colder temperatures than some of our international students have ever experienced before.  Thanks to a very kind anonymous donation, Chaplain Po Chu was able to arrange for jackets for all the international students to help them weather near freezing temperatures soon to come (kinda humorous for us snow & ice habituated  northern Europeans and Americans, but seriously affecting the health of some of the students from Laos, Vietnam, Myanmar, Thailand, Cambodia, or Indonesia)









LTS-ISF president Frans (from Indonesia) hunts for the XL size.  What, no XXL? Diminutive Chaplain Po Chu (from Hong Kong) found him the biggest jacket they make!

Mmmmm, apples, Asian pears and dragonfruit.  No fellowship event is complete without food for sharing.

Ooh, we can just feel all that vitamin C at work...

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.   -- Acts 2:42
