Retreat Review

So we had a wicked awesome youth retreat this year!! Only 12 youth were there, but it felt like a lot more because we had 8 leaders. Bird River Bible Camp is a really great place for retreats, it's just that its kinda far away and it took us FOREVER to get there because the roads weren't plowed yet on Friday. We did eventually make it, and it was definitely worth it!
It was really great having Krista there! She did all the sessions, and man, that girl knows how to make tears flow! Every year we do 4 or 5 stations of the cross, and every years we have tears. I love doing it, it's such a great reminder of everything God has done for us. I ended up having to read the 'script' for our group because Vergil said he would cry if he did it....so he made me cry instead.
I've noticed we have acquired some skaters in TYN. I don't really know how to relate to them because I've never been on a skate board in my life, and I'm kind of scared to. They're totally awesome guys though, I love them to bits.....and I LOVE Joey's pants!!!!!
I have to say, if I went to a youth retreat twice a month, I would be the most fit person ever! We played capture the flag and snow football this weekend, and having to play in knee deep snow, it was a workout!!! I'm seriously sore all over...not really a bad sore, but an 'I've been working out' sore. I'll have to create a snow football league!

Sounds like you all had a great time!

One of the reasons I go to the gym is so that I can do the other fun stuff on the weekend (although I will never attempt to skateboard).
