Yesterday was one of those nice days where everything goes well and life is good. We had our annual Pacific Islands Bible College Guam campus Christmas party yesterday at Tarague Beach up on Anderson Air Force base. The weather was perfect, slightly overcast, nice breeze and no rain. My "bamboo burger" was excellent and the desserts were fantastic. (I canceled out the desserts with a Diet Pepsi) We were among people we enjoy and love. (It makes up a little for being so far from family - although this year we even have Joyce's mom and dad out here for a couple months!) It was a really great day and I am thinking we will make it to the end of the semester. :)
The only thing that caused any sadness at all was that Mary Johnson , our English teacher and Academic VP will not be teaching for us next semester. The good news is that she will continue as our Director of faculty recruitment and development as she moves on to a new position with the Evangelical Lutheran Church mission. We are so thankful for the blessing she has been to PIBC in the four years she has been on our faculty.
The gift exchange was one of the highlights of the party. Everyone had a chance to "steal" gifts from one another. Joyce' s island candles were pretty popular. Melody Plaxton, Melissa Heck and I fought over a jar of chocolate biscotti with Melissa walking home with it. Melody and I each got to eat one biscotti. (biscottus?)
It was fun to see the kids open their presents. Of course no one could steal a present from a little child! You can see more pictures on Brad Boydston's blog.

Too bad...no more chocolate biscotti for you...but, weird as it sounds, if you really want to know ~ the singular of biscotti is biscotto.
