Yesterday, we took the young missionaries of Freire to a teaching appointment out in the "campo." They needed a ride because the bus service after they get done is not reliable. They can't teach before 7:30 because the man harvests blueberries until that time six days a week.

They have sheep, pigs, chickens and dogs.  I only have a picture of one of their pigs.

You will note the home made contraption they have to wear so they don't escape through the fence.

The sister showed us how she spins wool into yarn.

They sheer their own sheep, make the wool into yarn (using only the natural color of the wool), knit various items from socks to blankets and go to different markets to sell them. She says that the country life enchants her.
