Last weekend, we had our first ever Freshman Retreat! After dinner and games at Sanchez, we packed up and left to the retreat site where we kicked off the weekend by watching a G-live skit called "What Are You Waiting For?". That showed us the different reasons why people might be waiting until they decide to follow God. Afterwards, we had a fun time eating some quick but yummy snacks we put together using sausages and bread rolls!

Tolkien portrayed throughout the movie. To our surprise, it was the first time for many to watch the film! Through it, we came to understand what the proper attitude should be toward sin and the importance of brother and sisterhood in our Christian journeys.

Overall it was a great time of fellowship away from the worries and distractions of our daily lives.
