So just a couple pictures from the retreat.
The theme of the trip was "Re-connect" not only with each other but with God. Along with all the study time we had some great bonding time during the team competition time. There weren't enough kids that a couple leaders had to fill in...me being one of them. My team was named
T-trenton
E-eric
A-abby
M-melia
J-jessica
A-amanda
C-christopher

We really worked together great and pretty much dominated all the games.
Everyone got a long great and had a blast.
The last night we played capture the flag in the dark and had a couple issues. The first being that my team won the first game so a few kids felt the need to complain about it...then on the other team quin and abby were gaurding their flag and a strange guy came up to them and was talking to them. Keep in mind it is dark and late outside. Then during the second game most of my team mates including me were in jail and with all the comotion on our side of the field christopher decided to come and save us...well he was sprinting as fast as he could and seth being on the opposite team was trying to stop him. I was out of the jail enough with my hand out to be saved that my leg was in the middle of them as they collided into each other. And to make this already long story shorter, seth ended up with a swollen nose, we think a minor concussion, and found out today that he broke his nose. Christopher ended up with the right side of his face swollen and a black eye. Other than that ordeal everything was great and everyone had a great time.
We played a game of ultimate frisbee and kick ball, and somehow I ended up on the ground during frisbee and had grass stains on my knees. Abby was on my team and if you know her, you know she doesn't really say much, so it was fun to get to know her and get her to laugh and smile with me. I kept telling everyone that she was the one that pushed me down. Obviously not true but she would get a big grin on her face and would laugh.
Lots more happend but I don't really want to sit here for hours typing...but you got the high lights of the trip. =)
God is good!
