CCIC Retreat - Monday, October 25, 2010
This weekend I had the pleasure of being down at Mission Springs Conference Center with 200 other people at the all-church CCIC retreat. Allen Tsai from CCAC was the speaker for our English Congregation. I had a lot of fun and got to know people in the English Congregation I don't usually interact with.
The conference/camp site was very nice. The cheapest cabin, where I stayed, had an indoor bathroom shared between four rooms, and even though the toilet was literally installed inside a closet, this was a step up from some other places I've been where the bathroom is a short distance away from the cabin. The indoor bathroom was a good convenience to have, as it was raining the whole weekend.
The staff at the conference center really tried to make sure all our needs were met. Every meal was tasty and came buffet style. I felt like I was on a cruise, eating more food than I probably needed to. In my free time I went on the zipline and scaled a rock climbing wall, speaking of which, I need to strengthen my weak fingers because I'm going climbing again in a week.
My only regret about the retreat was that I was always tired during the messages, maybe because of eating big meals, or from having to adjust to sleeping before midnight, so I didn't get as much out of the messages as I would've liked to.
