On the 11th of November, Life Focus 14 came to a close. As a way to cool down and be refreshed after seven weeks of serving, all the leaders took a relaxing trip up to the Northwoods Conference Center for a few days. The second day we were there, it snowed; at night, you could see the glow of the northern lignts; the lakes partially froze; this was as far north as I had ever been.

In this tranquil and peaceful place, we enjoyed rest, recreation, and good discussions that helped us wind down. While we had the opportunity, we went hiking among the cedars, kayaking on partially frozen lakes, and tried our hand at bowling and other indoor activities. What I enjoyed most was probably the fellowship with the leaders as we talked about Life Focus’ past and future. It was a sad parting at the end but everyone knew we had made the most of the time we had.
