Hi, Nelda!
Let's have a nice weekend, even though we have rainy weather :)
Here is my story about the retreat.
8. When did you miss your parents or your country the most?
When I was a preschooler, I went to a retreat with my classmates. We went for two nights and three days, so it wasn’t that long, however I missed home and my parents a lot. I think that was because it was the first time I left my family. The food wasn’t that tasty and I couldn’t sleep well. Especially on the last night, we had a campfire with candles. It was kind of a ceremony that all the kids lighted their own candle and remembered their parents. I remember most of students cried on that night. After the ceremony I wrote a letter to my parents that I missed them so much. That was the first memory that I felt some kind of missing parents feeling and it remained in me till now.
