Winter Wonderland...

I thought it was about time I shared with you some of our winter retreat season. Ryan has been living on the ski hill as most of you know. He LOVES it...who knew!?!?! He finds it a blessing to encourage the groups that are coming in as they attempt to learn something that can be very intimidating to most. It is always such a great feeling of accomplishment for them when they finally come down the hill on their own!! :) He also has been giving cross country ski lessons and working as a retreat host. Next weekend is his big debut in the camp kitchen...his menu will be served on saturday and sunday! I have been blessed recently to speak with over 150 teenage girls about their "identity in Christ" and where they need to be looking for real acceptance. I was overwhelmed with the girls that came to me with their struggles afterwards. I have also been helping out at the front office and in the stores. We are really enjoying the winter season here at Camp Forest Springs!!
