Today is my last day to cherish this culture that I am now use to. Today is the "sabbath" day as Jake says. We went to church and just thank the Lord for all the things He has done for us. When I entered the Church I saw everybody wearing the same thing. The Hutterite clothing that I had to wear too.. The suspenders were so uncomfortable. I heared angelic music from the choir. Three of Jakes sisters are in the choir. I see everyone bowing their heads while they are praying and thanking the Lord. So I followed them. I thank the Lord for sending me to this colony and to experience what they go through. After Church nobody works. I ask "why isn't anybody work ing today?" Someone responded, "we keep the sabbath day holy and we don't work." So when there is no work what do we do? We just get together out in the colony and read the Bible. At the end of the day I had to say my last goodbyes to the people. I was devastated that I had to leave . I learned so much from thiswonderful experience that I do want to stay a little longer. I was driven to the train station to go back to Calgary and fly back to to Dallas . This experience really changed my life. I will truly miss the family especially Jake. I will now have to go back to reality and start over a new life.Now that I am back in Dallas, I have lost ten pounds! I miss everybody deeply. I now got to sleep in since my first day in the colony. Many of my friends in Dallas asks me "how can you have endured all that?" I responded "It is very easy once you get use to it." I am very greatful I got to have this experience. I know for a fact that I will be back soon!
