.R.S. retreat

Friday May 21st at 4 p.m. to Saturday the 22nd till 4 p.m. our ward had a R.S. retreat at an awesome 3 story log cabin owned by someone in the stake ...in the Mt's. of Julian Ca....It was nice that as you walked in the door you saw the chalkboard with the ground rules displayed..
No man-bashing
No whining
No gossiping
No politic-ing
We had a great retreat with ALOT of game playing, getting to know other sisters and their talents...but we could do whatever we wanted, so Fri. nite at 10:15 I went to my futon and read a nice mindless novel..Dorothy Gillman 's "Kaleidoscope" the last group went to bed after 1 a.m. ..In the morning 8 of us went on a nice walk..very hilly...saw lots of burned out cabins and black trees from previous fires..beautiful wildflowers, great views etc..it was 41 degrees and windy..In the night it was WAY WINDY..and foggy going down the mountain..for those who didn't spend the night.
We had a great devotional about positive affirmations and then a guest speaker..the wife of a counselor in our stake presidency. She talked about getting personal revelation for our own challenges in life...her hardest so far was when she had 3 little children , just got called as primary president of 150 children, found out she was pregnant, found out she had breast cancer, and her husband got called as Bishop. In her talk I remember this line.." The Lord can't direct our paths if we aren't moving our feet." I had a nice retreat !!
Hello to you !! Have a great day !!
