What a GREAT weekend.

I love going on retreats. And this definately was a good one, we had a really awesome time.

The worship was really good, on Friday night one of the men from church came and spoke about his work with Canada Food for the Hungry International, which was really quite inspirational, he has some really touching stories from his travels in/through Africa. Then on Saturday night one of the older Snr High girls gave her testimony and spoke about the things that hurt us, that we keep hidden, it was very moving, and we had a great time of prayer afterwards. And we had a very simple time of worship this morning with communion. The Lords presence was tangible throughout all of our worship times, and touched so many people, the Lord truly is faithful..

We had a Dutch Blitz tournament yesterday, which was great fun (even though I SUCKED), and a scavenger hunt. We had been lent a speed boat, so the kids all went toobing & for rides round the lake. Some of us just sat round chatting in the warmth, it was great. I had the usual round of questions about the different words that the english use compared to the canadian, it was .... amusing. There was a team of people who cooked us wonderful meals, we never went hungry, snacks were none stop...HOORAY.

It was a class weekend.

I think you need to make up a little brochure you hand out to people: "How England is Different From Canada" and on the back "Funny English Words You Can Say That Don't Mean Anything in Canada But Cause Chris to Laugh Until She Cries."

Wanker. :)
