Home Again!
We are back home again from the youth retreat. The studies that the good doctor and I did went well. I was convicted as I spoke, and I had the blessing of speaking with one of the other chaperones about some things I’ve been struggling with spiritually. She had some wonderful insights.
I’m pretty worn out, although I didn’t play as much basketball/etc. at the retreat as I did last year. I got to bed earlier than I did last year, but I know I slept horribly. My bunk bed smelled like dirty feet, and every bed in the room creaked like mad whenever anyone so much as moved a toe. No one snored or coughed all night, thankfully, which happened in other cabins.
I must be really tired. I can hardly think of what to say! One thing I do know: I enjoyed riding to and fro with a van full of boys. Since they kept their “body odors” to themselves, they made entertaining and interesting traveling companions. Hurrah for those awkward, clueless, wonderful things called teenage boys!

I can’t think of anything to do about the mattress, Febreeze perhaps, but next year you could try soft foam earplugs. I carry some in my purse at all times, and I’ve used them too. I hurrah right with you about teenage boys.
I don’t know, I think the whole fun of a retreat is the lack of sleep, stinky feet and no shower! But, when you’re home, it feels SO good to be home!
Teenage boys are an interesting phenomenon.
i had a perty good time on the retreat,eventhough at times it got REALLY competitive! :^P i really enjoyed the talk you and Mr.Sellers gave.
