Every year the members of UTB (Uganda-Tanzania Branch) of SIL gather together for a few days of retreat. This includes worshiping together, hearing a series of messages from a speaker and fellowshipping together.

The only rough part about it is that we are located on the Indian Ocean for few days.

During bits of free time (if I had any left after playing soccer and frisbee) my relaxation options included having a coffee by the pool.

Or reading with friends on the beach.

Ok, maybe it wasn't really that rough...
