The Comunidad Cristiana's retreat was a big success I'd say. My speciality is definitely not having fun (well at least in the sense that most people would understand), but I survived the day. We played lots of games-- volleyball, sack races, wheelbarrow races, Connect Four, dodgeball, jumprope. There were also horseback rides and swimming for the kids (too cold for reasonable people). My favorite part was the sunshine. 
Lots of thoughts going through my head today- geographical deserts and spiritual ones, rain and living water, the deep needs and issues of our community, the fresh news offered in the Gospel and via the Holy Spirit, the Puerto Supe gossip problem, our call to be known and distinguished by our love for one another.... I'm not settled anywhere yet and dangling between discouragement and hope. Pray that the Holy Spirit would direct my wandering thoughts and lead me the right way. Pray too that I would let God's words form and change me and not jump to applying them to everyone else. I long to find myself filled and overflowing.
