Things that went well:
Campfire with the children from the orphanage!
Having Barry come with us!
Having security come with us.
Bringing extra food with us! We ended up saving money on lunch the last day.
Game with colored water on tshirts! So fun!!

Things to change for next time:
I would have liked to check out the hike on my own before hand. (But also it was a great learning experience by just going for it!)
Maybe include more small group time for the students to actually process what God is saying to them.
Having a flexible schedule and skipping the night games on Thursday night (they were all too tired)
Plan the reveal devo for at least a week before, and not just the day before we leave.
Don't pay for all the meals before you know if you really want to eat them all or not!
(Thoughts from Susan)

I am having the 11-12th graders create a skit for a modern day Samaritan woman encounter with Jesus (John 4:1-32). I'd like them to present one of their skits at the retreat.

Last year, we rewrote song lyrics and performed for the students during devos one morning to reveal the info about retreat.

I was thinking it could be fun to do the same thing. Maybe one teacher could be in the room for Devos, and all the rest of us could call Tobi's room to make the phone ring?
Then we do a song like "Call me Maybe?" or some other song with a phone/calling theme.

I'm imagining something like this but better:

Hey, we just got to Guinea, and it is crazy! But God knows our number, He calls us boldly!

Sometimes temptations try to chase me, but God knows our number, He says "Obey me!"

Clearly, I need some more creative assistance to make this work, but just wanted to throw this idea out there!

We could use a template like this for Kim's idea about doing something nice for some one?  Or we could use it for giving an encouraging note?

Een plek om te overnachten: vakantiepark Milly Mamoudou in Coyah (filmpje) Guinee is een groen land en daarom heerlijk om vakantie te houden. Met negen appartementen aan de waterkant en twee aan de andere kant, is het op "Parc Milly Mamoudou" heerlijk toeven. De huisjes zijn traditioneel gebouwd en er zijn duurzame materialen gebruikt. Er is electriciteit en stromend water, heel bijzonder in Guinee en dat alles dank zij de zon en de bijbehorende zonnepanelen.

Deels hebben gehandicapten uit Kindia de meubels in de huisjes gemaakt en een ander deel de lokale timmerman. Prachtig natuurlijk materiaal en sfeervol. De traditioneel gebouwde huisjes zijn voorzien van een royale badkamer met douche, toilet en wastafel. Een mooi tweepersoonsbed met gloednieuw matras en klamboe. Vanuit de slaapkamer kom je op de veranda, met in het verlengde de rivier de Sarinka. Even verderop in deze rivier kan heerlijk gezwommen worden in het natuurlijke zwembad (4 x 15 meter en 2 meter diep!). Verder is er een biologische composthoop en groentetuin, de maaltijden worden hieruit bereidt, je kunt er schommelen en petanque spelen. Excursies kunnen in overleg worden gemaakt: natuurtochten, culturele wandeling, waterval (in de maanden november, december en januari) al of niet in combinatie met een picknick. Prijzen: Overnachting: vanaf € 20 voor een tweepersoons appartement, inclusief een heerlijk ontbijt. Diner: vanaf € 4 per persoon. De prijzen kunnen vanwege koerswisselingen enigszins afwijken. Guinee is een onbekend land om vakantie in te houden, maar zeer de moeite waard: de cultuur, de traditionele muziek die je overal op straat kunt horen. De vriendelijkheid van de mensen. De veiligheid, zelfs als vrouw is het mogelijk om alleen te reizen. Aan alle kanten is iedereen bereid om je te helpen en een plekje voor de nacht te vinden. Al met al kunnen wij stellen dat Guinee er een prachtig vakantiepark bij heeft waar op dit moment werkgelegenheid is voor twintig mensen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDzTraln4rE&feature=player_detailpage

Comparing our call to other people's call
Emergency calls/Urgent calls from the Lord (Ship announcements-everyone stops and listens)

Avoiding the call.  Having teachers share when they felt they were answering the call.

I(Susan) have talked with Micha and he is keen to help with worship. He would rather do it with Kim than do it alone.
