Missionary Retreat

Last week I was in the state of Queretaro, Mexico where we had our annual staff retreat. Following are some highlights of the week.
The Covenant missionary staff in Mexico plus children, child care helpers, and retreat guests.
The South District (Oaxaca) missionary staff. Katy Dockter, Laura Rodriguez, myself, and Bruce Dockter.
Morning praise and worship time.
Our supper on the last night. The hotel had a beautiful meal for us and served it on the patio near the pool.
Fun night-we are throwing "snowballs" at each other.
Praying for the three young women who helped with child care for the week.

This week was one of rest and relaxation for the mission staff. Although a few of the missionaries became ill during the retreat, most of us stayed healthy and were able to thoroughly enjoy the week. We had times of business meetings, times of sharing and prayer for each other, a great speaker, good meals eaten together, free time to spend with friends and family and a great fun night planned by the short term missionaries from Oaxaca.

P.S. For those of you that were following the water problem at my house in Oaxaca---when I returned from the retreat, the city water pump had been repaired and I had a full cistern of water!
