Many students came back early from Spring Break in order to participate in Multiply Your Talents. Pastor Manny taught an overview class in the Old Testament in the morning and in the afternoon, we broke up into different classes: Cooking, Guitar, Photoshop, Singing, and Video Editing. In the evenings, we had some great times of sports fellowship playing basketball, volleyball, and softball. It was a memorable and productive way to spend Spring Break!

At our fellowship we play this little game called “King-Kong Shower.” It’s a rhythm-based, 4-beat game, where each person has a verbal callsign and motion. If you get called but you don’t react, or if you call a person who’s already out, you get knocked from the ring.

Last weekend we had the class of ’09 bros from Berkeley visit, and so we had a massive round of King-Kong Shower. There were many potential lines of battle – Texas v/s California, young versus old, bros versus sisters…

But in the end, Texas handily ousted the California bros (maybe they were a little rusty since it’s been a year since they graduated), and it came down to four contestants, battling for title of “King-Kong Shower Champion”: two staff (Del and Dom), and two students (Andrew and Sam Song).

The final round video is below. It was a hotly contested result. Reactions varied wildly, with one side claiming the win, the other side crying ‘foul!’. You be the judge: did David really blow away two opponents with one fell swoop? or were Sam and Andrew in the clear, victims of a premature victory celebration? Post a comment with your take on these crucial final seconds of bout of “King-Kong Shower”!

We took bible study on the road to Houston where we met up with our students for an exciting weekend of eating good food, playing games, bible study, and trips to the San Jacinto museum and NASA. “Houston, we DON’T have a problem!”
