I have such sweet memories of getting to go to ladies retreats with my mom when I was a young girl. It was always such a sweet time of learning and growing and just having a great time with my mom. As enjoyable as those retreats were they don't hold a candle to how much the ladies here in Fiji enjoy a ladies retreat. :) We began on a Friday night with a wonderful dinner (cooked by one of the men in the church no less). Once we got cleaned up we enjoyed some singing and a lesson from the book of Ruth. A friend of ours from Pennsylvania was able to be with us during this time and did a great job on sharing this lesson of what God has taught her through the life of Ruth. After the devotional the ladies enjoyed watching the movie "Princess Cut". It is a really cute movie with a powerful message on allowing the Lord to bring along Mr. Right. Most of the ladies spent the night at the church but I returned home with Emmie. The next morning we feasted on a delicious breakfast that we all helped to provide. Game time was next on the agenda. I absolutely love watching these sweet ladies have a good time. Their laughter is contagious. We played very simple games but they were just in stitches laughing so hard at themselves and at one another. :)
Once we all calmed down from the games we moved right into more singing and another lesson.
I was honored to share a lesson on Biblical modesty. The morning was finished off with a craft and a great lunch. It was a very busy weekend and A LOT of work went into making it all happen, but it was totally worth it.
