This past weekend, the SFSU Koinonia college group went out to beatiful Yosemite!! The early crew went up on Friday, and enjoyed the perfect weather at Yosemite Valley. Returning to the home we rented out (with deer heads decorating the place), they sang some good old songs like “Deep Deep” and “My Savior Loves Me” and enjoyed a BBQ dinner of hot links, hamburgers and all the fixings. The late crew arrived after a few detours and joined in on the singing and we closed the night together with some scary stories and star gazing.
The next day we were up early with a time of DT and went over to Hotel Charlotte for a great All American breakfast buffet. In a place that seats about 60, we took up 43 spots and ate faster than they could cook up their killer scrambled eggs. Having our fill, we went over to a snow play area and played capture the flag and there was plenty of snow fighting and wrestling going on. It was so much fun and not even the rain/hail/snow could stop us. Derek lost his shoe but from our previous trip to Sierra, we developed a team of professional shoe finders. After tiring ourselves out, we went back into Yosemite Valley for a nice walk and took a lot of photos along the way. Because of the weather, we couldn’t do all we wanted to but still had a great time at Yosemite!
We came back to San Francisco and ended the trip with a nice big hot bowl of pho! We were all so happy and had many fun stories to share. Check out the slideshow below and maybe from your desks, you can get a glimpse of the beautiful sights we saw!
i want to go back! Thanks for the fun trip!

What a trip! I wish it didn’t rain like it did. It’s ok. Hopefully USF has a great trip this weekend! Hopefully, they have as much fun as we did!
This was actually the first time I saw mist coming out of the mountains…what an amazing view!

Yosemite is the most beautiful place ever! Thanks to the people organizing it, Gchang, Fpang, D and A. Definitely enjoyed singing all those songs and Daemin’s hit your own hand then others song. Playing in the snow is definitely up there!

Each time I’m in awe of God and His artwork that far surpasses any of our efforts! Great company, too, and, of course, being an oldie, I was love to teach and sing oldies!! Special thanks to our bro Jammy at Berkeley Koinonia for finding that terrific house!
