A Day at the Farm

It appears that Restoration Ranch is made of the things that bring excitement to children, boys especially. On the last full day of the Geary family's time with us we took them and Rosita and Priscilla to the farm. We planned to have a big lunch of typical dominican food, minister to the people in the small community across from the farm, and enjoy the land and its benefits. We added Matthew and Isaiah Burge to the group as well, and the 10 of us loaded up in our Dodge Durango.


Marta prepared us a great meal of pollo guisado, arroz con habichuelas, tostones, aguacate, y concon. It was wonderful, and even the kids enjoyed it. I bet you non-spanish speakers would love to know what it was we ate!

After lunch the Geary family, the two Burge kids, and Prisicalla and Rosita went across to the neighboring community and ministered to adults and children alike. When I finished working with the master builder and went to see if they needed any help, they had the crowd participating in everything and smiles everywhere. Everyone had either an animal-shaped balloon or a hula hoop and a lollipop. Priscilla did a great job translating for them and freed me up to take care of construction business while they worked over there.



I have to admit that one of my favorite parts of the day was watching the boys having so much fun chasing and catching chickens! Who knew it could be so much fun. No GameBoy or other electronic gadget in site, just pure free fun.
