Winter church retreat

Over the weekend Jeremy and I went on the annual church retreat to hajenka. It is an old scout cabin thus making it more or less the perfect place to hold a retreat. There are 6 rooms with beds, toliets and showers, a common area, basement and kitchen (with a great big wood burning stove).

The trip to hajenka last year was great, so of course we were both looking forward to it again. The cabin was a little less full as a number of families were sick or had work, but it was a blast just the same. We played game, walked to Dankovice (a little village close by) for lunch, and sat and talked. I remember being incredable nervous last year because we had only been here for 6 months the time the retreat rolled around, but this year I had nothing to fear. Our Czech is much better, we can understand and make ourselves understood, so I felt like we could actaully listen and contribute to converstations.

This weekend also made me think about leaving. The retreat marked our remaining 6 months in the Czech Republic. That's it...only 6 months. Which means that we need to be looking for jobs and figuring out were we will be when we return to the states. But it also means that Jeremy and I are going to have to be even more intentional about getting together with friends since out time is growing short.
