Our women's retreat held May 21-23rd was a huge success this year! Almost 100 ladies showed up - we didn't know till the day of, just how many would show! We DO have registration ahead of time, but we STILL didn't know how many would show! Ladies and teens came from Queretaro, Celaya, Saravia, Milagrito, San Juan del Rio, Amealco, Mexico City, and maybe some other places, I don't remember!
Friday night we watched the movie Fireproof. The ladies really got into it! And of course, there were many tears! We trust God spoke to many hearts!
Here, as we lined up for a meal, Heather Hower is giving out surprises! Each lady received a little bag of "goodies" provided by Joy Hutchinson's church, Heather and me! Some were GREAT, others were so-so, but every lady anxiously awaited her number to be called! They don't really CARE what the surprise is, they just are happy to get one!

Christy O'Brien led us in worship and did such a fantastic job! Juanita, our "in-house chef" took time off during the worship time to sing along. She's a young lady of many talents! Each worship session was a time of huge blessing and encouragement! THANKS, CHRISTY and JUANITA!
On Sunday morning, for our devotional time, we all hiked down to the pond, sang together, then each found a private spot to have our own time with the Lord! It was a memorable time, very meaningful to all! What a beautiful spot God has given us for our camp!
Lupita was one of our speakers. She had just had surgery on her feet a few days before camp, so came just in time to speak, then had to head home.
What a beautiful woman of God is Lupita!

I spoke on the Quiet Time, Sara Musgrave spoke on Jesus as our Counselor - and of course I didn't get pictures of either of us!
Chely was our last speaker, talking about the importance of INNER BEAUTY. Actually, all the speakers spoke on INNER BEAUTY and how it's so much more important than any outer beauty.
Chely was fantastic! Wow! Another beautiful woman of God!
So, how can we make our retreat BETTER next year? I'm not sure we can! Soon we'll meet to evaluate the time and start planning for next year.
The ladies can't wait!!
