Men's Retreat

A couple of weekends ago, Nate was able to go on the first men's retreat since he's been in the Philippines. It was fun for the guys to get together for some fellowship and encouragement. Here is the lodge where they stayed in the mountain for two nights.
Saturday morning the guys hiked to some caves and a beautiful waterfall. The people said it had rained there for several days straight, but on this day it was sunny and beautiful. Praise the Lord!
Here's the men going into the caves. Don't you like how they all have staffs like Moses?
There were cool things dripping down (all you scientists would know the proper term). They also had to walk through water that went up to their knee practically.
I'm glad I was not there to see this icky creature! Yikes! I'm sure Nate was not afraid of this beetle thing.

The men did lots more like sing, pray, listen to a speaker talk about "leadership" (according to Nate), and play games. This is all the info I have for you now, but I thought you'd like to get a few snapshots that I got from one of the other men. Thank you, Lord, for this retreat!
