Conversation always flows freely with the common topics of family, activities we have been involved in, and the usual concerns and stresses with work. Everyone seemed so happy to see better weather and spirits were raised immensely.

| Shrimp Basket for me and Elisabeth |
We ordered drinks and meals.
 |
| French Dip for Ruth |
 |
| Fish Sandwich for Miriam |
 |
| Grilled Chicken Breast Salad for Sarah |
All meals were acceptable and tasty, but the central focus is meeting with friends and fellowship with Christian women. It is refreshing and renewing for all of us to know we are being lifted up in prayer especially during our most trying times. Prayers are being answered; we all feel stronger in unity with one another.
Proverbs 27:9
The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume and incense. (NLT)
"When we consider the blessings of God—the gifts that add beauty and joy to our lives, that enable us to keep going through stretches of boredom and even suffering - friendship is very near the top."—Donald W. McCullough, Mastering Personal Growth
With the reassurance that we have wise counsel in the company of friends, each one of us leaves renewed and better equipped to face what lies ahead. Praise God for friends!
Summer begins soon and life just seems easier. If we get through the rainy season without having to float a boat, we will all be blessed!
Looking forward to our next adventure in July,
Anna
