this past weekend i travelled to whistler for a girls retreat that the youth group i volunteer with put on. We all got in our vehicles and drove 2 hours to the land of the beautiful. once there we found our rooms and got settled in. may i just say that our suites were nothing but gorgeous! we all participated in a progressive dinner including salad, soup, nachos, brocolli and mushroom stir fry and some lovely sundaes. after a long drive and a long night of getting to know one another better we went to sleep. on saturday we watched a video of Lisa Wenchel from the 80's tv show "Facts of Life". She spoke on friendship and the right kind of friends to look for. after that we enjoyed some great lasagna and salad and we got to meet Miss Canada's Tara Teng. She shared her testimony and seemed like a genuinely great person. we then went to the village and did a scavenger hunt. the day was really beautiful, and i really enjoyed laughing and getting to know those amazing girls. although we werent doing anything strenuous i found i became really exhausted over the weekend. coming home made me realize how blessed i am that God has put such an amazing community in my life. i was once a highschooler who went to youth and looked up to leaders. im really honored to be seen as a leader and to be able to mentor these young ladies and help them through highschool. I am also so blessed to be able to share the word of God with them, and to tell them about who Jesus is.
this weekend was amazing.
