Farming it up!



We have some dear friends who own a farm, they are a family that has invested a lot in Jonerik since he was a teen.  They were having an open house/farm on Saturday and had the opportunity to help them for the day!  Needless to say we worked hard but had a lot of fun.  It was an educational day so we put up posters with information about cows, goats, and other animals.  There may be more pictures to come but here are a few:






We are encouraged by this family's practical faith and their love for each other and for other people.  Getting out of the city for a day was nice and it was a perfect day to sit outside on a lawn chair and drink chocolate milk!

Some highlights of the day:
-Jonerik got to lay some gravel with a skid loader
-Emily got to mow a maze in a grassy field for the kids
-Emily took the reins for a horse-drawn hay ride - with the expert next to her and ready =)
-We got to spend time with a godly family who is able to encourage us in our ministry and walk with Jesus!

Same God...very different way of life.  We like diversity.
