Because, the children eat with the adults, things can sometimes get quite interesting. At some meals, one little boy will get it into his head to show off for everyone, no matter how many times he's asked to sit down, he will still keep at it. Another day, half the school children and 'buem' have to line up and get 'flogged', because they haven't cut their hair short enough (Apparently it's required in school that your hair be kept quite short). They use a cane. The older the boys get, the louder it whistled through the air, and goes 'tuck' on ....

On April 23, 2006, all baptized brothers and sisters of Palmgrove were able to take the Lord's Supper in peace, with reverence and joy. The days leading up to it were a learning experience for me. I was able to see how people can once again amend their ways and strive to live together in unity and harmony. It was a very lovely picture!
We had a good three hour service, then towards the end all the baptized members were called to s....

It looks like some of the comments on the previous posts have gotten out of hand! Why am I not surprised?

As mentioned in Edward's report, over the past few years, factions "seitne" have developed here in Palmgrove. Having only been here less than two weeks, we haven't really felt it, but in small ways we've noticed it. Since the first day we arrived, my dad and Paul Vetter have been having meeting after meeting with people, and here and there they have been telling us a snippet or two of what the problems are that people have. We won't get into that, because a lot of it is just plain gossip. But anyways, it's been a long hard battle.
