2009.12.20-22
Day 1: WOW. FUN. I went with Nicole, Eun Hae and Christine and the rest of the Youth Group at Ye-Eun P. Church. Turns out it was the same Church I went to when I was in 4th-6th grade. /sigh. Until they fought and dispersed. But the ppl now are pretty cool.
We went on Sunday after worship. It was at Big Bear Mountain and supposed to snow but it didn't. Only saw chunks of dirty ice and it was super cold. We slept in this house that they rented. Puahahaha. We all slept in the smallest room out of the three. During worship we prayed and I cried so much. We all cried out to God. We didn't want a formal relationship. Rather, a relationship where we cry out and ask for help. All about God. <3>
We ate yummy ddokbokgi with kimchi jjigae. Also pigged out on chips and ramyun. The game was so fun too!! I was put into a team called DYNAMITE. Immy was leader.
Uhhh...we stayed up really late talking about Christine's ex and Eun Hae's lil' sis. I think we got like 3 hours of sleep, but it felt like 5 minutes. The next day, the guys blamed us for being too loud after light's out. HAH.
Day 2: was a full day there. Still no snow. We just woke up, took COLD COLD COLD shower, did Q.T., ate breakfast...then...oh yeah, we got into out teams and had to make a skit. IT WAS SO FUN. Man...Eric Teacher is so funny. He's so short and he has big eyes. SO CUTE!! AHAHAHA.
ummm...then...we had to walk to Gregory Lake. SO MANY CUTE DUCKS. Hahaha. We did freeze tag [I caught Paul! SO HAPPY!] and made a record of catching everyone in like 35 seconds. Good thing we got first place too. Then there was flag football. Man do confusing. But I did whatever to pretend like I understood. HAHA. Then we walked back and had more team meetings. Then the girls and guys split up to the same gender teachers...then switched. Then prayer about our future, thoughts--->destiny thing, and the other generation well-beings. I cried once again. I was so touched. We cried out to God, once again. Then...uhh...oh yeah. Paul fell for a 14 yr old after she played the guitar and sang. Hmm..I ate ramyun while everyone else ate bulgogi. Yum. Uhhh...then we did out skits and we got 1st place!!! Oh yeah. And we made a big deal out of how the guys all talked nonsense about not understanding girls. We had this rampage thing at the stairs. Stairs are so cozy...our rooms are so cold and empty. Anyways, uhhh then we placed mafia. It's a pretty cool game. Then...we did Truth or Truth. HAHAHA so awkward. And we all slept. WOW. The older ppl were like bashing on the Sophomores. Gawd, it irritated us. Oh and there was like 1 big spider on our bed and 1 other spider on the stairs and we all screamed. I cussed and this one teacher was like "Watch your mouth!" and I felt so guilty. UGH. My bad. Now that was all up to like 5 am. After that I passed out and woke up at 7:30 am.
Day 3: Yeah. SO TIRED. Like...all I could think about was sleeping. When we had Q.T., everyone was just zzZZZ. LOL. I think I caught a cold. My nose was runny. Since it was the last day, we packed everything. Then IT FINALLY SNOWED. So we went back to Gregory Lake and had a snowball fight. I thought I got a frost bite cuz my feet and hands were FREEZING. Anyways, then we had to walk back. We moved everything into the vans and left. It was sad...cuz it was already time to leave. How bittersweet. I know I'll keep this with me forever. I'll take this experience and knowledge with me everywhere. I look forward to next retreat. :D
REMEMBER THE LORD!
I LOVE YOU GOD!
THANK YOU!
