Great Weekend

We're back from a wonderful retreat at White Sulphur Springs. Although the weather was rainy Friday and Saturday, everyone still managed to have fun with rock-climbing, foosball, and a square dance. Sunday was much nicer, weather-speaking, and Nathan got to go horse-back riding, and all the boys got to go canoeing with Bob in one of the ponds. We had a fun smore campfire and skit/game/song time Sunday night. One of my favorite things was staying up late talking each night with old friends. I did a lot of laughing! Anna was a pretty cooperative baby, napping very well so that I could be up and around while she was napping.

The speaker was really excellent, and I will try to write more tomorrow about some of his points. His name was John Voss, and he was a Navigator staff member in Russia for 10 years, from 1995 (I think) to 2005. His insights on the Russian military and culture in general were fascinating, and his insights into spiritual battle here in our country were also very compelling. So, more later . . . Right now, I have 4 very stinky boys who are in desperate need of showers and baths!
