Guy's Retreat

A walk with Jesus

When you think about a retreat you think about staying late at night and probably getting up early, at least that's what I thought. For the beginning I wasn't sure about going to the guys retreat probably mainly because I related it with some experiences I had before, but at the end I decided to go and see how was it. Since the moment i arrive to the place we were suppose to meet I knew this was going to be a totally different retread. One of my friends Luke was loading the van a making space for the food (very important) while the other guys where doing some tasks to get ready, there was no worries and no thinking in something else than have fun and spend a good time with friends and God. The time was correct and the guys were ready just us and the road no need of maps...hummmm...maybe a few mapquest but just to make sure, it is funny how you talk and behave while you are with your friends and mainly when all are with the same passion. During the trip we talked about everything, some stories about buying swords in a gas station, being scare about blonds with Ford Mustangs and other thinks that just guys know and talk. When we got there it was already dark and finding the cabin was one of the funniest experiences in my life because was hard to see and our driver Patrick hasn't driven the van with people in it, which make think about it a little bit, but hey if something is going to happen you have your friend with you. That night we cooked camper stew which is one of the best things I ever cooked in my life and by the way a suggestion if you are planning to cook camper stew make sure to add not a lot of carrots and potatoes and enough BBQ sauce. The night was gone and the day was there and we where ready to start our breakfast with the Luke and Patrick cooking. The breakfast was awesome and the guys were ready to explore and be wild at their hard, no doubts of what to do or how to do it just follow your instinct. We went to explore and do a little bit of vine swinging which was awesome. During the meals we got to share some portions of God's words with our bodies and talk about a little bit which make you see different points of view. All this great adventure took place at Billy's parents cabin which is in the middle of the wood and make it very cool. Overall we had a great time and breathed fresh air, and the most important we spent time with God.
