PERSONAL NARRATIVE My personal narrative is about the time my church (Family life Fellowship) took the youth leadership team on a ranch retreat.
Two summers ago I went on a ranch retreat with the leadership team. We went to the youth pastor's wife’s parents two thousand acre ranch outside Bennington Oklahoma. On this ranch they had cattle,swine,horses, and a few chickens. While we were there the other youth and I played Marco Polo in the lake. Roy one of the adults cooked a chicken fajita, it tasted amazing. That night the men slept in the shop while the women slept inside the ranch hands apartment. while people were trying to sleep there were hundreds of june bugs dive bombing us, and there were spiders the size Mason jar lids.

many of the horses were work horses for herding the cattle on the ranch. I almost tripped on a cattle guard five times. once we got back to the shop we were not allowed to go swimming in the lake due to how cold it was. So we played with the dogs Happy, Nano, and Skippy. Happy is a small multi breed dog that is brown with black spots and is always jumping around and happy. Nano is a big st. bernard with a shaggy coat and white with brown and black splotches. Skippy is a black and white sheep dog of medium size. All of the dogs licked us to death. that night we all took a shower in the house there were 3 showers in total throughout the house. The dogs were so cute and …show more content…
Everhart (the owner) brought out the pellet guns and put some clay pigeons on a board of plywood and put it 20 yards away and we shot at them with the guns. I shot five for five on all of my tries except for one that I only shot four out of five. I was pretty proud of myself and so was my mom. My friend michel was mad that I beat him because he always keeps talking about how he is going to join the military and be a navel sniper, I thought it was funny. But I’ve been hunting with my dad ever since I was four years old. After lunch the youth pastor had us come into the shop and we did a whole bunch of very frustrating leadership and team building games. The most frustrating game of all was the marble game. In this game we had to match up different lengths and sizes of PVC pipe and had to roll a marble through it without letting it touch the ground. You had to go from point A to point B and drop the marble in a solo cup at the end of the trail. It was very frustrating but it was also very
