A special day! by Tiffany

We were blessed to get to spend a wonderful day with friends helping out someone in need.  We were told about a farmer in a town about an hour away from our city whose family is currently going through a really tough time.  He and his wife have a new baby, the wife just had a serious surgery and the farmer's father is ill.  He has a mountainside full of oranges, but they are becoming ripe quicker than he is able to pick and sell them.  We were able to go with many people to pick the oranges for him and then pay him for what we took.  It was a blessing for us all!  Here are some pictures from beautiful area.  However, the pictures do not do it justice.  Everywhere you looked, all around was dotted with orange!

 I just love the way the take advantage of every little bit of space!

A new friend I made on our outing!  Just about every time I turned around, there he was, right at my side and courageously using every bit of English he could muster!  Before leaving he had picked me a bouquet of flowers!
