Fun at the Farm


I am having a lot of fun at my grandparent's house, but I really miss all my friends from ILC. I especially miss Josiah, he was one of my best friends and the very first friend I met when we arrived. I haven't heard from him even though my mom sent his mom an email, so if any of you talk to Josiah or his family, tell him to email Preston.

Today I went to Mr. Jerry's house. He is one of my best friends and he lives close to my grandparents. He has lots of dogs, cats, chickens, & turkeys and one llama. Well, I got to hold 3 tiny baby turkeys today. They are so cute! Some of the baby turkeys in the past have gotten sick and died so Mr. Jerry is trying to keep these healthy so they will live. I am going to try and help him. He has one baby chicken named Snow (I named her) and she is considered mine. I helped to raise her. I have known her since the day she hatched and have helped raise her. Everyday for months last summer I worked with her and got her used to people. Now, she will run up to me to be picked up and she really likes to be held and especially held by me. He has 5 dogs and they don't let just anyone come around the chickens, but they will let me. The dogs names are Lilly, Haddie (they are sisters), Cody (I like to call him Cody Banks), Casper, and Sarah. Lilly & Haddie are border collies and the others are shelties. They are really beautiful dogs and nice once they get used to you. I love all of Mr. Jerry's animals and I will miss them when I'm gone. But I'm not gone yet, so I will have fun with them while I'm here.

The picture of the turkeys are not Mr. Jerry's, they are wild turkeys that came through our yard every morning and every evening for several months. I'm the one that spotted them for my parents. It was cool!

Preston, it is so good to see you have been able to get back to the farm. I know your friend Mr. Jerry is so excited to have his helper back. Paul and I are praying for all of our visas so we can all go to Campinas, Brazil together. That would be so fun and crazy. Well, take care until we see you on skype again :)
