Dr. Peter came by to help Branch release his pigeons. A few have returned, and we're hoping that the rest will come home soon...
ChubChub stood by faithfully and watched for escaped birds.
Stennes has been working diligently at the U-Pick. He brought home some cantaloupe, peppers, sweet corn, and...a check for his hours. Mean Ol' Mama was a bit teary-eyed as her firstborn becomes a man.
Josiah purchased this cute bantam pair to augment his flock. He's becoming quite the businessman.
Potatoes from Stennes' garden and lots of fresh produce from his job...
The boys spied a rabbit eating Levi's plants. Sad to say, but that little bunny now resides in our freezer, awaiting another cook-out day in cooler weather.
Anders has been helping Levi put up pickles with all of the cucumbers in the garden. Yummy!
Dr. Peter and his family came for fried fish (a very unexpected gift), cantaloupe (from Stennes' job), and sweet corn (also from Stennes). He and Paul watched a European homing pigeon race.
When they discovered that we were watching them, they began to act more "cool".
And now for a show of muscles to impress the wives....Gotta love these two fellas...
ChubChub helped Stennes dig up almost all the remainder of the potatoes in the garden out back. Guess what we're eating these days? Eggs (from all the chickens), zucchini and yellow squash (from Levi), cherry tomatoes (from our garden), potatoes (from the boys' gardens), and whatever else comes our way from their jobs.
These two good friends came to visit us Sunday morning. We thought the "heart" potato added a touch of romance to their photo.
Josiah sold over $100 worth of chickens this weekend, so he purchased a small incubator. We'll see how it goes (and pray that it goes well).
Sunday evening we went preaching in 3 camps: an apartment complex with Hispanic migrant workers, a Hispanic/Haitian camp, and a Hispanic/Jamaican camp. We had such a good time, although we were a bit hoarse at the end from all the singing and translating...
The woman in the blue shirt came up afterwards weeping, asking for prayer. It was a heart-breaking time for all of us. Please pray for Dorca.
This man and the shirtless man behind him were extremely drunk and "preached" with us the entire time. It's so sad to see how the devil destroys; on the other hand, it's wonderful to see how Christ brings life (and life more abundantly).
This Haitian man knew us from another camp. He ate in our home last year, and we were so excited to see each other again. He and Mean Ol' Mama sang quietly together the Creole song that he taught her last year.
Yes, it was getting dark, but this camp on the way home was packed with men just sitting around, and we couldn't just drive by without stopping to sing for them, share the Word, and hand out free Bibles and candy. They were happy to see us and were so receptive.
