Marathon Weekend!

Wow, what a weekend! The Guad Quad traveled back down to Oregon last Tuesday to do a retreat for a group out of Hillsboro, OR. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we were at the same beautiful retreat center near Seaside doing a "weekend" retreat for a class of 8th graders. They were an amazingly fun and exciting group that had more energy than I've ever seen! By Friday we were tired, but we loaded back into our van and drove back to Cowiche, where we started another weekend retreat for a Confirmation class out of Kennewick. Luckily, this time they came to us and we were able to do the retreat out of the center where we live. God blessed us with a group of kids that made our lives easy and more fun than almost any other retreat we've done. We hung out, stayed up way too late on Saturday night playing Ghost in the Graveyard around the center and then lost an hour with the time change, sang Praise and Worship songs at the top of our lungs and spent a lot of time talking about faith and God. Overall, in 5 days we did two 3-day retreats, which is quite the marathon!

Well, now we're hanging out in Cowiche, getting ready to head over to Kennewick this weekend for a day retreat at Holy Spirit Church on Saturday. Yesterday we drove with Dan up to Seattle to visit the Neuman Center at University of Washington, and got to hang out at Pike's Place Market in downtown. Please continue to pray for us as we recover from our weekend and continue to do ministry. May God bless you all and may the peace of Christ reign always in your hearts,
