Get to worship in English!
Hear the word of God (again in English!); Pastor Blaine was awesome! Had really great messages on being great in the sight of the LORD
Share what has gone on in the past year – each missionary gives a 10/15 minute report
Talk about our goals as a field for the next year
Play volleyball (personally my favorite!) and swim!
I consider it a retreat with a little bit of preaching and field business thrown in.
It is really great to hang out with and get to know the other missionaries on the field! You can learn so much from them… for example I learned how to fill a bathtub when you don’t have a stopper! One of the perks to this hotel was bathtubs (very rare in Gabon), but ours didn’t have a stopper. Our Field Director told us to use a plastic bag – a thin one… thick ones don’t work well.
