Update on the Rush

8/29/06 - 3rd Day - After Supper. I've been very busy since the rains came and have been unable to blog. This will be a short one, but I plan on a longer post tomorrow, so tune in. We had a great Sabbath and Lord's Day. The rains came and we got about 2 inches total, which is a definite answer to prayer. We probably put about 400 gallons or so in our catchwater, which was a life saver. When the rains come after 5 or 6 months without it, you find so much work to do that you haven't thought of before.

The last couple of days we have had to go to town to stock up quite a bit, and we have been working on Mihai's camper. Several months ago Mihai bought a 1968 Winnebago for $800. We have been getting the propane system working on it, and checking out the stove, oven and fridge.

Pedro is doing so much better. He is running around and playing now, and has put on some good weight. Today we worked with him and with his momma, trying to get her trained to lead so we can start milking her next week. The longhorns are all doing well and thriving out here. Rosa got out today somehow, but David and Susan got her back in with the old standby... FOOD.

Anyway, today we worked mostly on Mihai's camper, and I have been teaching these young guys how to shop for themselves so they can start providing meals for themselves very
inexpensively.

The children have been gathering Mesquite pods and shelling out the seeds. Tomorrow we are going to roast them and (DV) make some Mesquite coffee.

I have a new sermon to put up. I hope to get it up on BiblicalAgrarianism.com tomorrow, if the Lord wills.

Your servant in Christ Jesus,
