Oasis Retreat

I've spent the last two days running around on the beach after Cohen who, as you can see, is getting a little bit to courageous for his two-year-old britches!

Stefan was asked to speak at a conference/retreat for the British mission agency Oasis who also is headquartered here with us in Beira.

The retreat was held at "Rio Savanne"--a local getaway about an hour from Beira by car. Here are Stefan and Christian waiting for the boat to take us accross the river to the penninsula where the retreat was held.

The area is a prime location for local fishermen.

Our accomodations... We were really happy to have a tent which gave us somewhat more control over potential guests that wanted to join us for the night (We had a run-in with some rats in our bed in the middle of the night last time we went to Savanne...but that's another story...)

Stefan spent the days in meetings with the group...

.. and participating in their team-building activities.

The boys and I just hung out...

and ran around the beach.

Sharon,
I added ya'lls blog to our favorites but somehow it got stuck on Cohen's birthday so each time I checked I didn't see the new posts. Well, finally I saw August (2) and clicked over there to catch up. Thanks for sharing!
Kristina
PS Do tell the rat story when you have time!
