Yes…the whole 6 and on occasion visiting folk as well.4 priests and 2 brothers.
Have you traveled in greater than 50% of your country?
 
Yes.

Have you ever seen a space rocket/shuttle launch in person? 🚀
 
Isnt that the same as a “falling star” if so yes.

Been in an earthquake?
 
Yes, countless times. Hair is too short for that at the moment.

Have you ever slept outside without anything over you (tent, tarp…)?

Nope…never done that…

[Sounds like our parishes are similar…when we moved here 30+ years ago, the parish had six worship sites (missions), three priests, two nuns, a deacon, and a lay minister. The priest shortage [and an unfriendly bishop] reduced us gradually to four worship sites, one priest, a deacon, and the lay minister…we have regular visiting priests on weekends. Our parish covers several hundred square miles.]

Have you ever been to a farmer’s market?
 
Many years ago…a small dog bit me on the ankle while I was riding my bicycle [I was about ten years old]…I don’t think it even broke the skin, but we had to call the police to have the dog checked for rabies…I never liked small dogs after that…

Have you ever delivered newspapers?
 
No…I’m a guy…sewing on the occasional button is enough for me…

Have you ever been to a church-sponsored fish fry?
 
No. Either I couldn’t because of my work schedule, or I couldn’t because there are no polling stations where I live (expat situation).

Have you ever been tested for a food allergy?
 
Have you ever given a precious family gift away and have it come back to you years later?
 
Yes. I have a few friends who work in the industry.

Have you ever shorn a sheep? 🐑
 
Yes. They didn’t come out well 😞

Have you ever descaled and gutted a fish?
 
I don’t live in a state in the US sense of the word. The closest equivalent I can think of here is the prefectural office, and yes, I’ve been there—it’s where I renew my residence permit.

Have you ever lived on a farm? 👨‍🌾👩‍🌾
 
Spent plenty of time on one…my mother grew up there…never actually lived there…

Have you ever led a group in prayer?
 
Yes…many years ago, when I was teaching 6th-grade PSR, we held a weekend retreat, and some friends came in and showed the class how to make rosaries…

Have you ever slept in front of a fireplace?
