So this one time...



























So pretty much I had probably the best retreat experience I have had this weekend. We went down to the LA area but about 10 miles or so north of the northern tip where all the rich retired people lived. So therefore it was some of the most beautiful region of Cali I have experiences in my life. We ate In N Out a lot and that is pretty much the best place ever, I won't lie. Keeping you updated things got really busy last week with mid terms and things and I think I did fine, I mean fine in the terms that I haven't failed one yet which is a good thing. Anyways spiritually I am very good right now the speaker touched a lot on the issues that I believed I as well as this group needed to hear.. The whole idea/ theme of the weekend was complete surrender and what that looks like in various relationships, and especially on campus. It was really cool to get to room and meet some of the upper classmen who are involved in the movement and finally at least have an opportunity to be contacted about being involved in the worship ministry here. We'll see where that goes but I really have no idea considering the fact that I am an architecture major and really won't have any free time once things get rolling next year and I finally get my own studio. I have been having good conversations with the guys in the hall that challenges me to look into why I believe certain things and them as well. And it is interesting to see the whole idea that no one really if you take the skeptical viewpoint on life can believe anything is certain. This one guy I have been talking to is going to read the bible all through and I am going to be there for any question he raises and to just talk. I know that if God is truth in anyway than that alone will minister to him, for the word of God is so powerful and speaks to the heart. Anyways I will get some pics from this weekend up later cause the blogger isn't working right now...gots to get back to homework later.

Yeah, this weekend was pretty much amazing. I love the pictures! John, you never fail to impress me with your maturity, insight, and perspective in everything; I was reminded of that once again in our conversation Sat night...or Sun morning? I hope you realize fully how much Christ radiates from you. You are such a blessing, thank you! Elise
