This weekend we had a women's retreat at Camp Koinonia. Heather Hower was in charge and did a SUPERB job! Here she is giving out prizes for anyone who showed up on time for the meeting time! Actually, EVERYONE got a prize, but the ladies got SO EXCITED when their name was called! And Annie was up front too, "helping" and eating her sucker! She's a little doll and got LOTS of attention all weekend!
Christy O'Brien and company (Alejandra and Juanita) were the worship team. What a great job they did! Christy is doing great and does a wonderful job with the music! She makes beautiful bracelets of course I had to buy a few to give as gifts! Thanks, Christy!
We had between 50 and 60 women from San Juan, Queretaro, Celaya, Saravia, Amealco and north and south Mexico City. It was wonderful to see "old" friends and make "new" ones! Only five of us from San Juan went - yes, I was disappointed, but the five of us had a super time together! And YES, it was cold at camp! I was cozy warm at night under my warm blankets, but the meeting tent is COOOOLD! But the fellowship was very warm!
Carina from the Tlalpan Bible Church in Mexico City was our speaker. She was great! She challenged us to be Una Mujer equilibrada en su interior. Loosely translated that is Being a Balanced Women from the Inside. She was a blessing to all of us, really spoke to our hearts.
We helped prepare meals, clean up after meals and at the end of the retreat, everyone helped clean up the camp! I helped with breakfast the first morning. Here's Rosy, Ivonne's daughter, helping the ladies fix chicken and a salad for lunch. Rosy leaves for La Roca (The Rock) Bible Institute in Guadalajara in just a week!
