The ferry.

Last week we had the pleasure (and challenge!) of leading the teaching part of our 3 day MCC team spiritual retreat. The location was exotic...3 days on the beach on Ometepe Island, a beautiful volcanic island.
We spent the first afternoon enjoying a nearby ojo de agua (watering hole). The next day we taught on the spiritual gifts, had some good discussion regarding their uses, relevence and so forth. We all then took a spiritual gifts test to give us an idea of what they might be. Some people were surprised, while others not so much.
The afternoon we briefly talked on hearing the voice of God, then spent the next few hours in silent reflection.
The following morning we watched Fireproof and talked about what spiritual gifts were exhibited in the movie. After lunch we headed back home to Matagalpa. We had hoped to spend the night in Granada to take a night away, but when we got back to the mainland, we found out that Zachariah was quite sick and was wanting us home. We decided to head straight back to Matagalpa, and arrived home 8 hours after leaving our hotel on the island.
Overall, we enjoyed our time on Ometepe and the group discussions, but our glad to be back home on familiar ground.
