We then headed over to Ruth & Larry's to see what was up and Ruth was preparing a big meal for the board members and their wives. We decided to pitch in and help and then ended up staying for supper and eating with the "kids", Micah and his wife Lana and Nathan. Nathan and a fellow from Bolivia made some coffee using a siphon coffee. It was pretty cool and Tim said it tasted very good as well.
Saturday morning we headed over to see Elijah, Ruth & Larry's oldest son, at the farm where he works. We went along with Peter & Martha, Ruth and Nathan. At this farm, they grow potatoes for Frito Lay, and they were almost done planting and we got to see some of the fields and the potatoes that were already coming up. They do not store any of their potatoes as they wash, bag, and ship they all directly to the processing plant. It was especially a treat for Tim so see how other farmers operate. Forgot to mention that we stopped for a $1.99 breakfast, two eggs, hash browns or beans, bacon or sausage or ham, toast or tortillas. Pretty sweet deal.
For lunch we went to Rudy's for lunch with Peter & Martha, where Tim had beef brisket and I had smoked turkey. Came back to the camper and rested for a bit before biking around and enjoying the sunshine.
We decided to walk a mile or so along the frontage road of the highway to go and see a movie. We watched "The Impossible" a story about a family and what they went though during the 2004 tsunami. It was moving and yes I shed a few if not a lot of tears as it was a true story. We walked back home in the dark and made a delicious late supper of steak, onions, peppers and zucchini all wrapped in a flour tortilla. Now to clean up and get ready for bed as tomorrow we head off to Bibleville for church.
Praise The Lord! He is always good.
