Winter Getaway!!

Last weekend we went to a Young Adults retreat in Ponoka. The guest speaker was Rev. Persard from the Toronto Church Plant. The weekend was a lot of fun it was fun to see old friends and meet a couple of new ones as well.

On Saturday afternoon we played Bigger or Better. This is a game where you start with a item and you have to trade it for something bigger or better then that item. We all started with a plastic fork. There were 20 teams and our team thought that they were doing pretty good with a stereo system with soround sound speakers but we were in last place almost. Items that other teams had were a piano, two teams had cars one was working the other wasn't, they had LCD computer screens, satilite radios, round bales, air hockey tables, a complete living room with couches, coffee tables and even a TV and the best one was a pig. You could never get these items in the city.

We stayed with a wonderful host family and even got our own bathroom. They made us a wonderful breakfast and then we were off to church. The weekend was a great success and I can hardly wait for the next winter retreat.
