Our Chapel has been having lots of fun using the great location we have been stationed on. A beach service in Nov is perfect because it isn't too hot finally but be warned you can still get burned. We had an awesome service with a beach baptism and then a burger bash to follow.
This past weekend I got to be part of a team that threw a women's retreat for the ladies of the chapel. Fun things about planning events on an island - shopping at 100 yen stores instead of target, mail not coming when it is planned (our curriculum arrived at 2pm the day of the retreat not weeks in advance), lots of sand and shells for free to decorate with and of course a beach resort that is only an hour away!
The ladies got to - play I have never, go on a glass bottom boat tour, get pedicures, make paper airplanes, worship together and dig into the Word of God. It was a great time and I am so thankful to the many friends who gave us some tips on throwing a weekend to remember for all the ladies.
Flip Flop Fashion shows at 11:30pm with women can be quiet entertaining!!
