Our pastor in the willage J owns a peach tree farm and it was
time to pick them
when we arrived!!! So one day this week there was about 30 of us and off we went to pick some peaches! And when I say some I mean a ton (well about 15 tons to be exact- or at least that was what we were told J). I had never picked a peach in my life and it was an experience to be sure! One of the guys, Dema, from the church hung around Haley and I to make sure that we did not get lost with what we were doing and what a joy to work with him! He was always whistling and hardly spoke any English but was able to ask what my name was and kept on telling us “very good”. J I even got a sunburn from this day (but do not worry- it is now a killer tan!). Words cannot do justice so here are some pictures!
