On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday we headed to World Impact's camp in the high desert, The Oaks for the W.I. West Coast Staff Retreat. This was the first one since we've been here (7 1/2 years). It was good, albeit tiring with three little ones who decided not to sleep well. There was a great speaker who is the director of YWAM in San Francisco but just returned from 25 years in India.
On Monday afternoon I got to hang out with Elizabeth and Caleb while Luke attempted to get Emma to nap. So we painted pottery, took 2 hayrides (we're on one above), decorated and ate cupcakes, and just enjoyed a beautiful sunny day. That was fun for me. I think we're finally about caught up on our sleep, although Elizabeth had to fight off a yucky cold after we returned. I hear lots of people in L.A. ended up sick too.
We also enjoyed yummy (and, I fear, very unhealthy) Oaks food and great child-care during the sessions by awesome volunteers. It was good to get away and fellowship with fellow urban missionaries.
