Ontario Youth Retreat

Late Saturday night (or should I say EARLY Sunday morning...) We returned from preaching a youth retreat for Bro. Bookers church. The location was about 45 minutes from Rialto, in the mountains....it was a really beautiful setting. Snow covered the ground, beautiful mountains and forests, crisp air,... but for this sissy California girl, it was cold!
The retreat was AWESOME. We had a great time!! Michael and Laura Barrier did such a great job putting this retreat together. Their hospitality was second to none!! (They are the most adorable couple...we just love them!!!!) The Barrier's had a great team of chaperones that we really enjoyed meeting and being with.
Saturday I had the privilege of speaking to all the young ladies in a split session, and we had a great time. (What a sweet and beautiful bunch of girls!!)
I want to compliment these young people on their response to the word of God. The altar calls were so powerful...everyone lingered, and God's presence was so real and beautiful. (And the preaching was AWESOME!!!! Good job babe!)

Thank you all so much for everything. We really enjoyed our time with you...you are a GREAT group of young people!!!!!!!!
