Sunday afternoon for lunch, we went to the Robert and Colleen Harper's farm. They farm cattle and barley, and make and sell animal feed. We had a fantastic lunch of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, broccoli, and carrots. And pavlova (Some type of fluffy cake something. It was real good.) for dessert. Mr. Harper showed us around the farm, and I got some great pictures.

After walking around the farm and learning about the Harper's business, Mr. Harper drove us to an old mill with a beautiful stone bridge in a little town nearby. I don't remember the name of the town or the bridge, but I got some great pictures.

It was a wonderful afternoon, full of good conversation and laughter. It was such a blessing to spend time with the Harper's, and to see their love for God and for people. Their entire family is very missions minded, as Robert works with Ireland's branch of Operation Mobilization. Both he and Colleen are involved in a community youth program here in Kilkenny called The Rock. The Rock was started by a group of Americans a few summers ago as a fun and safe hang out time for teens. It has continued to meet every other Friday, with numbers reaching over one hundred. Please be in prayer for The Rock, as the American team that began The Rock will be coming in in July. We will be involved in it as well, and are really looking forward to it.
