Latin America Area Retreat
A week ago today we got home from our trip to Mexico where we had the opportunity to serve all of the missionary kids whose parents are serving in Latin America. It was a really great trip and gave us a small glimpse of what our job will be like once we graduate and have all of our support raised. Some of Drew's roles included teaching three times from the book of 1 Peter, working on videos, leading a small group, emceeing many of the games and other events, and hanging out with students whenever possible. I also led a small group of Jr. high girls, helped to lead most of the games, helped with worship, and enjoyed riding the waves with my small group girls. We had such a great time serving all the students as well as serving with 24 other amazing youth workers from around the U.S.. We are so thankful for this opportunity, and for the beautiful place that we were able to be at for the retreat. It was so neat to see the missionaries enjoy this retreat and use the time to connect with their families, other missionaries, and be refreshed by God's Word. We are thankful for many supporters that helped to make this trip possible for us. Enjoy some of the pics!
All the wonderful leaders!

One tradition during these retreats is to make video skits. The luchador theme was a huge part of the videos. Check them out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PnurCT1aeJk
