staff retreat

after church on Sunday (the 24th of august- i know that was awhile ago but this doesn't work at the house..) we packed our bags and loaded up in the truck and headed for our RETREAT! yeeeaaah, staff togetherness! the people who live in montellano met us there- let the bonding begin..

true to dominican style (and efficiency) we got there and sharla had to deal with rooms, keys, etc for 2 hours that had already been worked out. bummer. BUT then we took our stuff to our rooms and enjoyed AIR CONDITIONING. the resort was “all-inclusive” – fancy schmancy, huh? it is funny what that means here.. anyway, after our buffet dinner we met in our room (kate, sharla, me) for worship and prayer. a friend of sharla’s, josh, flew in as our speaker/worship leader for the weekend. he is a wonderful person and was a huge blessing to our staff.

it rained most of the weekend (which was actually quite alright because it was cool outside and allowed for some time in the air conditioning. we ate meals together and had multiple sessions (Bible study/prayer/worship) on monday- our full day there. tuesday afternoon- back to our homes we went. here are a few photos i took monday afternoon between times it was raining..
