We had a great team of people consisting of Caregivers and Therapists at our weekend retreat. Well, it turned out to be more of a conference than a retreat. The first day, Friday, we shared information from 9 am to 9 pm. There was very little time to rest, only during meals. After looking into the eyes of our participants and seeing the tiredness, we only shared information from 9-5 and then had a banquet with an incredible meal. Our community provided the hospitality and they did a wonderful job. The last day was more relaxed and we worked from 9-5 and had a barbecue at the River House. It was an invigorating experience for us and I pray for our guests. Our two interns planned the retreat and presenting from their own experiences which the participants found to be profound presentations.
Jo and I are excited because this was the first “retreat” of what we hope will be many more. We hoping to have regional retreats in the north, south, east and west in the future. If you are interested in a three day retreat in your area please contact us.
I wish all of you would have had the opportunity to be in Baldwin and a participant this past weekend.
So glad to see you two are still in the ministry. We think of you often and reflect what a wonderful time of our lives that was. Life has changed considerably for us. Russ was diagnosed with MS some years ago and the path we were on took a very different direction. We are now in Washington state near most of our kids. I had someone ask me if you were still in ministry. Since I have no way of following you I decided to look you up. I think I will tell her to do the same. That way there won’t be a middle person. God bless you and thank you for the great training we had there as well as your friendship. Much love, Dee
Thank you for letting us know how you are. God bless you as well!
