Team Retreat



This past week, our team spent two days together at El Tephe, a water park that is a couple hours from where we all live. We enjoyed some good fellowship, delicious grilled arrachera, and some insightful sharing times. One of our team's current goals is to build a community of trust. We were grateful to be able to borrow some babysitters from another team :) and had some meeting times where the adults took turns sharing key experiences in our lives using post-it notes, otherwise known as "life-mapping".


In the morning, we had a devotional time where the kids heard a story about Jonah. We all enjoyed listening to the interaction, especially the answer to, "What can we learn from Jonah?"...."Don't fall into the water!"
















Bicentennial Park

Our team has enjoyed this park twice now...and it is quickly becoming a favorite! We certainly can't beat the price! Thursdays happens to be their 2 for 1 special day, so we paid about $1 each at our last visit! We didn't take any pictures on our 2nd visit, but the water park section is also a lot of fun with a lazy river and slides, etc.
