Week 6 - Murupara NZ - Dairy Farming!

Started the week in Taupo at the Koinonia Institute where we met some really cool Kiwis.  

A few of them invited us to come visit them.   

So...
 we went to the Mills Dairy Farm in Murupara (owned by Richard & Jenny Mills) 
for the week and did a little dairy farming.

Hannah & Z helped the Mills children with some of their chores.  

While Chel & I milked and helped the Mills adults with their chores.
