DAY 1!

Hey guys! Its the youth and we are currently in our cabin at the Heifer farm in Rutland Massachusetts!!!!
Hi MOM and DAD and JAKE!!! This is a really cool place! The food is amazing! Mom, I need you to make me some type of stir fry when I get back! There's this cool camel here and his name is Abu! And he was born here in Massachusetts! He dances! Well, he sways back and forth! And there are rabbits and a dog! And goats and water buffalo! And COWS :) We are having a blast so far! Can't wait to see you! Tell Sabrina I miss her even though she probably doesn't care. And try and remember to wash my sheets! -Kayla-

Hey everyone the farm is so cool and we are having a great time (: The food is awesome and the peas were my favorite. Even my brother Joshua Jensen would like them.
Hey mom and dad! Guess what I saw this adorable baby goat and I think it would be pretty awesome if we could get one!!! Haha just kidding I know you would probably kick me out of the house. Tomorrow I hope to put pictures on because this place is really beautiful and its amazing hat they do to help people. I'll see you on Saturday and try not to have to much fun without me! ~Lauren~

Hey people, not really gonna write an essay ^^, but its fun here and we all arrived safe and sound with no major casualties*. So we are waking up at 8:15 tomorrow morning to start some farm chores and work. Will give another report tomorrow.
*I slammed my head really really hard.

The scenery here is beautiful. Our cabin?/bunk room overlooks all the lower ground, and apparently on clear days you can see Boston (although it sounds like there are some trees in the way too). The goats are so friendly! They're like dogs and will come bump you to be petted more. The food was delicious! But I think we'll need some new adjectives because we'll probably be saying that every day.
Love to you all,
Hannah

It's awesome here! We've just had a tour of the whole farm. I never knew that goats could be so sweet. They're like dogs in a way, because they're happy to just hang out while you pet them. The same with Abu, the camel, except for he gets bored after a few moments and wanders off. Kayla was right though, he can dance! I'm going to get a video of it. The scenery is beautiful, and I would be happy to just take pictures all day, but my camera memory card is running out of room! It's really cool to see how all the parts of the farm fit together so that people can just live off of the land. We're all having a great time. I cant wait to tell you all about it when we get back.
Love you Mom, Dad, and Bruce,
Alyssa

The ride here was ridiculously amusing. For those of you who didn't know, we had walkie-talkies, which made the ride insane. After about five minutes, they deviated in purpose from sending important information to singing, fighting childishly, and just beeping each other. Even though it took seven and a half hours, it only felt like three with all the fun we were having. When we got to the farm, we were given a warm welcome, after which a tour took place of the entire farm. I took a bunch of pictures, and we all met some very nice goats and chickens. So far the experience has been really good. Love you Mom and Dad. Over and out,
Convoy Leader Mike
