Fun day in the countryside!

David and a friend took a trip to the countryside on Thursday and discovered a like-minded body meets in this small town! It’s been set up since 1978! The leader wasn’t there that day, and when David called him he was actually in GL (our city)! Funny huh?

He invited us to bring the whole family back on Saturday and talk. We were so excited to learn how this group was started, their vision, how the Father is working, etc. It was about a 2.5 hour bus ride to get there around curvy mountain roads, but it was worth it! We all had a really good time and look forward to building relationships and possibly working with these people to reach the AM!

Swimming in the river! The water was so clean!

Lunch consisted of rice, tofu, duck, tofu noodles, and some green vegetable I had never eaten before.

Colt LOVED all the animals at our friend’s home. He wouldn’t mind living there :)

The kids are looking at a pond full of baby turtles (they gave us 3 to take home). The chickens and ducks are roaming free. So much fun! One of those ducks became our lunch!

We have a common bond – they are our brothers and sisters! This was where they meet each week. Pretty neat to see!

They didn’t have much, but they were so kind and the kids had a blast!

Crossing the swinging bridge to their home. . . made me a tad nervous someone was going to fall into the river :)

This watermelon was dropped and it cracked open so we HAD to eat it :)

  1. What a great day out for all of you. I am sure the kids loved the animals but also a great experience with gathering veggies and fruit. I could tell that Caden was enjoying checking out the watermelon. It seems that people in other countries are much more friendly toward strangers than we are here. So glad that you are forming new friendships.
