While we were in Manitoba, we had the opportunity to spend a day at a Hutterite colony. 
Hutterites are a group of people who live together in a community. They do everything together-working, playing, & eating with the entire community.  This community was a smaller one-about 75 people. 
For quite some time now, our family has been praying for the opportunity to visit a colony as a whole family. (Dad & several of the boys had been to a colony in Montana last year, but the rest of us have never been) 
Through an amazing set of circumstances, God providentially opened the doors for us to visit and sing at this colony. The people there were so welcoming and hospitable to us. They included us in everything they were doing and made us feel like part of the community.

After we got back from the barbeque at the lake, we set up our sound equipment/instruments in their community dining hall and gave a concert for the colony.
After we sang, their youth choir sang several songs for us. Their harmony was beautiful-it sent shivers down my spine just to listen to them!

  4. 264541 705449The next time I learn a weblog, I hope that it doesnt disappoint me as significantly as this one. I mean, I do know it was my choice to read, nonetheless I really thought youd have something attention-grabbing to say. All I hear is a bunch of whining about something which you could fix for those that werent too busy in search of attention. 938897

  5. 93829 509479Hey this really is kinda of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or in the event you have to manually code with HTML. Im starting a weblog soon but have no coding experience so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any support would be greatly appreciated! 297799
