Potentially BJ as well. https://padlet.com/susan_waldron/su58l6h2h0dz/wish/290387288

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. ]]> 2018-10-08 16:40:30 UTC https://padlet.com/susan_waldron/su58l6h2h0dz/wish/290387288 Avoiding the call.

Notes from Susan:
I found this place while on adventures this weekend! I have also heard this is where African OnBoarding is planning to happen. I have already emailed them! More updates to come!

Looks amazing! - Lisa https://padlet.com/susan_waldron/su58l6h2h0dz/wish/292927978 2018-10-15 16:38:33 UTC https://padlet.com/susan_waldron/su58l6h2h0dz/wish/292927978 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? https://padlet.com/susan_waldron/su58l6h2h0dz/wish/292929722 2018-10-15 16:41:07 UTC https://padlet.com/susan_waldron/su58l6h2h0dz/wish/292929722 Introducing Retreat to Students susan_waldron https://padlet.com/susan_waldron/su58l6h2h0dz/wish/293243434 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!]]> 2018-10-16 10:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/susan_waldron/su58l6h2h0dz/wish/293243434 What to bring list (Student Version): susan_waldron https://padlet.com/susan_waldron/su58l6h2h0dz/wish/294384840 Please keep editing this list as you think of things!

I'd like them to present one of their skits at the retreat. https://padlet.com/susan_waldron/su58l6h2h0dz/wish/295072145 (Jesus calls us by intercepting us in our day-to-day life!)

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!
