We welcome Loren and Mary Ruth Wilkonsin to the Old Convent for God and Nature! How could you not welcome professors who bring you an Amish ice cream maker?!
This week for our homemaking session, the Wilkinsons offered to show us how to make ice cream. Despite the warm weather we've been having, we finished it all off before it even had a chance to melt. The flavor on the menu: citrus mint!

Other highlights this week?
We celebrated our beloved kitchen manager Emma's birthday, complete with an eel card. Emma's loves eels! Caleb (Staff) and I (Kristen, Staff) took over making lunch, dinner, and dessert to give Emma a well-deserved day off.
We enjoyed a lovely weekend here in Kaikoura. The warm temperature gave the feeling of a summer day, and everyone took the opportunity to get outside! A group of girls decided to spend an hour horseback riding through the bush on Saturday.

God and Nature will continue next week, and students will delve deeper into what it means for Christians to care for God's Creation.
