September Spirituality Retreat

Everybody needs a time away to reflect and re-energize, especially finca vols. So from September 13 through 16 we all got squeezed into 2 land cruisers and headed to the beautiful nearby town of Bonita Oriental. There we had a 4 day spiritual centered retreat led by lay man John who works near Copan, also known as Juancito. We were fed amazingly be the local staff (including fresh squeezed orange juice every morning) while we enjoyed a local mass, talks, and reflection time. Some of us, me included, even took a few runs by the local river bank which was truly beautiful. We played great games, and even called a former vol on their birthday to sing to them all together. Everyone greatly enjoyed the break from their busy work schedules, and each other´s company. In the end we all were able to take a moment to be grateful for the countless blessings in our lives and simply enjoy of beauty of nature around us.
