retreating

We arrived at the retreat location around 6 pm last night and set up for the reception. Church members arrived later in the evening and we were off to dinner. The focus of last night´s activities was just to get everyone loosened up and to learn a little about one another. Our retreat team had some fun activities prepared and we had great fun playing games and getting to know one another better! We are staying in a small boutique hotel and we pretty much have the place to ourselves. Good thing, because the games and fellowship went late and proved to be a hit! Who knew Scattagories in Spanish could get so competitive!?!

Currently, almost every church member is working thru a spiritual gifts test we brought and we´ll be discussing the results of those shortly before lunch and some free time. Then the remainder of our sessions together will be focusing on prayer. Can´t wait! Its amazing how short a time we´ve known these people and how easy they are to fall in love with. God has been quick to bind our hearts together. Thank you all for your prayers, comments and encouragement. Hope to get some photos up later today.
