Beautiful snow



We just returned from our annual staff retreat - and where do California missionaries go for a retreat? To the snow!! We were blessed to go to Hume Lake Christian Camp again, which is only about an hour away from Fresno in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The one day we were there it SNOWED a lot! About a foot where we were, and when we got up for breakfast today, this is what it looked like. Beautiful! The retreat is so great: staying in a lodge in hotel rooms, eating yummy food that the camp cooks for us, worshiping together, sharing what we are learning, taking long walks (although the snow made that a bit more challenging!), laughing a lot, and ice skating! Oh, did I mention no kids? Elizabeth and Caleb stayed with their friends Toby (2 1/2) and Amanda (9 years) and their family. They were excited to have a sleepover! You can see from the pictures above that they were very eager togo, and they had a great time although they missed us a bit. We're happy to be back in the land of sunshine and no snow, though!
