Youth Retreat!!

Last weekend us youth leaders took the some of the youth group up north to Kpalime for a little retreat away. This is something they do not get to do much and it was so fun! Here are a few pictures.

First we walked to the market. It started to rain. A nice old man sold Ali an Obama umbrella.


We got hungry..and thought pineapple sounded nice.

We walked by a FanMilk store...so can't pass that by without stopping for a treat.


Ali found a cute baby along the way and had to hold it. Her name was Shakira..not joking:)



We stopped to look at some clothes on the side of the road. Kim Anna wanted a pair of pants and much to our amazement found out the manikin was wearin underwear underneath...backwards. We found this odd. I guess that shows how hygenic they are around here. Ali showed the owner the problem and turned the underwear around the right way.

We hiked to a waterfall.

Many Obama articles around here say "Yes We Can". However, we found out that clearly that is false...as seen by the way the umbrella held up (or didn't) under the waterfall...haha.













We played in the waterfall and followed the river quite a ways. Still wondering how many parasites we aqcuired from that fun excursion down the riverbed.

Gregory, our guide, cut us fresh pineapple...and squeezed lime on top..mmmmmmmmmm!
He also gave us tattoos like the one on his arm. John wanted his on his chest and took it like a man.

It was a wonderful weekend with some awesome kiddos!!
