We went to Batu at 2 p.m and got there at 3 p.m. We looked our room and put our goods there. Then, we gathered at a room like hall. We were divided into 4 groups consist of 8-9 students. There were a lot of activities that we did. We were taught many things about our Jesus, fraternity, etc. It was so interesting and useful to know about it. There were also some games like Froggy Dance, etc.
At 6 p.m, we went to chapel near the Wisma Syallom. Thereafter, we had dinner. Each group must clean our plates when it finished alternately. Next, we continued with some games like “blow ping pong”, etc. It was finished at about 11 p.m and slept :D
The second day, we hiked Banyak Mountain, Paralayang. We woke up at 4 a.m and prepared ourselves to hike. We went there at 6 a.m. Unfortunately, the land was very wet and slippery. So we often fell down, but it was fun. We knew each characters of our friend, like selfish, weak, strong, caring, etc. There were also many challenges there and it was needed a teamwork. We got the Banyak Mountain Peak at 9 a.m. The weather was so windy and cool. It was also had a beautiful scenery. We had breakfast and took some pictures there. Whereat, we backed to our retreat house. We were very tired and exhausted but it was really fun. We had lunch and took a nap for a while until 5 p.m. But, my friends and I just played a card. Hahahaha...
Here is some photos at Banyak Mountain .. :D
After we took a rest, we continued with snack and lessons. We were taught about persistence, patience, and many more. Afterward, we did “Heart to Heart”. In this moment, we must say about our friend’s characters honestly. It’s time to change our bad habits and make our class more compact. It was until 12 a.m and we slept :D
The next day, we woke up at 6 a.m and went to chapel to feel the wind, birdsong, etc. Just relaxed ourselves for awhile. Next, we had breakfast and made a commitment of X5. We promised to do our commitments. At about 11 a.m, we went to chapel again to mass. Finally, at 2 p.m we backed to Malang.
Overall, I liked it so much and I wanted to do this again :’) Big thank you for Romo Sixtus, Pak Bismo, and Suster Elis. :DD
