Did your staff love it?

Oh wow, yes!!! This year we went to the Opryland Hotel, but we've gone to Whitestone several times for staff retreats.

Just FYI, if you ever want to stay there (in the future), it's half price for full time pastors if you stay Sun. through Thurs., and totally free for missionaries. He has such a heart to minister to pastors and especially missionaries. He has given away over 10,000 nights to full time missionaries on furlough.
