These days were quite interesting for me. Aaron and I took the youth on a winter retreat. The retreat was amazing! I really felt God there. I know we took the teens but God really spoke to me as well. It was a renewal time that I needed! The teens seemed to really have a great time and i think that a lot of hearts were spoken to. That is all we can ask of!
As far as food goes: it was a hard weekend 
The first morning was pancakes – i cant eat so i had bacon and granola bars (i brought my own because I figured that would happen) and a banana. Lunch that day was hot dogs. If you know me you know I would have eaten the hot dog anyway but i couldnt eat the bread so I had mac and cheese. The next meal that I couldnt eat was sundays breakfast – sticky buns!! they looked so amazing!!! they gave the kids sodas one night and had homemade cookies which looked amazing as well! I really wanted a soda!! There were lots of chips and candy going on. The last night there were smores 
. I couldnt eat as well. It was tough but I am so glad I stayed strong and didnt eat anything that I promised God i would not during this fast. And it feels wonderful!! I am so proud that I didnt and God taught me a lot about obeying.
Winter retreat was a huge blessing and I cant wait for next year!!
