and......

So, let’s see…..... I left out a few days…....... What did I do....?
Oh, ok, so on Monday, October 12th at about 4, Aaron Andrew and I went to the Central Station in Göteborg and boarded a train. We rode it for about 20 minutes to a tiny little town and transferred to a bus. We rode the bus for about 30 minutes and came to a town called Marstrand. This is a nice little town and is a popular tourist destination, especially in the summer. Part of why it is popular is because it is a central location for sailing, Volvo’s “world race” makes a stop every year, another reason is for the Fort overlooking the town, it is beautiful (see photo). But we were not here to sail or sight see; we were here for a church staff retreat. One of the pastors grew up in the town and now has her parent’s old house which has been remodeled into 3 separate “apartments”, one on each level. She rents out 2 and keeps the top level as a place to get away to. So, we ‘got away’. It was quite nice; there were 7 of us there for one night. We all helped with dinner, played games and watched a movie, basically just relaxed and hung out. Tuesday morning after breakfast we had a time to share anything we wanted; thoughts, dreams, concerns, prayer requests, etc. It was a very refreshing time. That afternoon we took the bus back to the city and back to our now normal lives.
