long weekend

this past long weekend was reserved for my fellowship's retreat. since i was supposedly helping out with planning what food we are going to have, fion and i went on two consecutive days of shopping, on thursday and friday. i never thought in my whole life how tiring shopping can be. but by the end of thursday, i thought i could fall apart and collapse. on friday, after some final shopping trips, picking up things that we still need, fion and i picked up ada for lunch at kennedy and hwy 7. ada and i were super squished in fion car, because her car was packed with our stuff, and all the food that we'll be eating in the next four days. i was sitting in the passenger seat in the front, and i was right up against the front, and the windshield. i swear i have never been this close to a windshield in my life for two and a half hours. and ada was seating on half a seat holding onto and making sure food items are save in the back. it was one heck of a ride.

the retreat location was at shalom by the lake, a bit north of minden. we rented two cottages, but most of us just stuffed ourselves into one, and saved the other for the counsellors. it was so much fun being up north with my friends from fellowship. we had so much fun talking and sharing with each other, opening ourselves up, and be totally genuine with everyone. it was amazing, i could definitely see God's hands working among us. it was the best retreat i have ever been to, and one of the best experiences at shalom. i hope that i will continue to have these amazing experiences with my fellowship, and bring even more people to come and share this wonderful relationship with them.
