Young Women's Retreat

We went on a retreat with the young women from our ward this weekend. One of the leaders parents have a huge nice "cabin" that we were able to stay at. It was more like a HUGE house in the mountains. We easily fit with all the young women, leaders and priesthood. When we first got there, some girls and I were in a 4-wheel drive with another leader. We thought we could try to drive into the driveway, and start getting things set up, before plowing the driveway. Nope. We got stuck. One of the few pictures I took. (From the inside of my warm car, being pushed by a group.)
After we got unstuck, we ate dinner, played games, stayed up way too late talking, up early the next morning for a big breakfast, etc. It was such a nice weekend to spend time with them, away from cell phone service and other things that keep us busy. I took almost no pictures.
Morgan and her friend Hailee:
We got almost no sleep. (An hour and a half or so.) However, it was still a great time, and much needed bonding between the girls and leaders.
I love working with these young women, and am feeling sad that I most likely will be released, because of Matt's new calling. :( Never- say, "Oh I hope they don't release me for a long time!) Oh well! I guess if I'm looking on the bright side, at least I won't have to camp in a tent for 5 days this August. :)
