Fall Retreat

For our retreat we went to Cuernavaca, Mexico. There were about 30 of us, from both the RUF group and the English Club. Our speaker was Victor Cruz and our theme was "If God is good, why is there suffering?". In between our sessions with Victor, and our small discussion groups, we had water balloon wars, roasted marshmallows, acted out skits, played soccer, ate really yummy food, walked to a lake, played basketball, had cardboard boat races, laughed, swam, sang, prayed, had daily guided devotionals, and learned a lot about ourselves and God. Enjoy the pictures!Our speaker, Victor
