Staff Bonding
There is nothing quite like playing games late into the night to bond a staff group. Just being able to interact in things that are not project / staff / mission related is a great benefit. After our time of solitude and study, we had dinner, took a hayrack ride and ended at a campfire. Around the campfire we shared in worship, considered what a focus on poverty in 2007 would look like, and of course - toasted marshmallows for s'mores. I know that the experience in this time away will make a positive impact on how I interact with other staff members in the future.
