Retreat Pictures: Saturday

Though our location (beach town Monterey) was incredibly beautiful, the weather forecast promised a continuation of the heavy rain and strong winds we've been having, so we expected to huddle indoors all weekend long. Praise God, Joy was not shy to ask God for a day of good weather... and this is what we awoke to the next morning!



Yes, that's a sunrise... the first sun we'd seen in a week!

Following our Saturday morning seminars, a group of us Fair Oaks ladies piled into cars to visit the Monarch Butterfly habitat in Pacific Grove.



Isn't this beautiful?

Fortunately, none of us were injured by the nature:



Me & my cool roomies (Evelyn & Bethany):



(The afternoon also included a scenic trip to the beach, but I will put those pictures together in a separate upcoming post.)



That evening, we concluded our day with a grand time at "Fellowship Night" with our fearless leaders (don't worry, they only dress this way on special occasions)! Thanks, ladies!
