A Weekend of Unexpected Twists: Retreats and Burnt Surprises
<div class=text-justify>

This weekend was quite an experience. My initial plan for the weekend was to travel back to my parents's house and come back on Monday so that I could continue working on my project with my coursemates, but I changed all plans due to some particular events.

One of the first reasons why I chose to change plans was that in my church, there was going to be a retreat for the work force on Saturday morning and my plan was to travel on Friday. I was not able to attend the last retreat because I travelled so I wanted to make sure that I made myself available for it. This was the primary reason why I cancelled my trip home.

The second reason was because I was invited to play for a particular programme that was held on Friday night. The name of the program is "When Funaab Worship," and it is a yearly program that I have not attended since I started schooling in Funaab. I felt that since this is my last year at the school, it would be great if I went this last time.

I was not only planning to attend the program but also to play for a church colleague I know who was invited as a guest artist in the show. I would have the opportunity to play the guitar within the walls of Funaab for the first time. It was something I had been avoiding doing, but this time, it was not a big deal any longer.

I was lucky enough to have these pictures taken of me when I was on stage by a friend of mine who also plays the guitar. I remembered that I saw him taking some pictures of me while I was playing the guitar, so I quickly ran to his DM on WhatsApp to send me all the pictures and videos he took of me while I was playing on the stage.

I also managed to take some pictures of myself and the auditorium used for the event.

After the whole thing had ended, I got home to be totally surprised at what had happened. Before heading for this event, I had prepared stew nourished with catfish and sliced cow skin in it but when I got home, I realised I had not put off the gas and the stew was left on fire throughout the whole night.

The whole stew burned to ashes and there were no other casualties. I got back to figure out that my cooking gas had finished. I was so grateful because this incident, which looks small, could have been a lot more severe and damaging but I am glad that it wasn't.
