Everyday the entire Institute gathers outside at 630am to do five minutes of group exercise. It's early but I have been going to bed at around 830 at night so I am managing just fine. After the exercise we have short food life meetings before going to do a half hour of farm chores. My farm chores group is on beautification assignment. That means we go as a group to cut grass and rake leaves. After chores we do our Food Life work, which for me is crops and vegetables. Every morning I go down to the lettuce field and take my garden hoe and pull weeds by hand around the vegetables and use the garden hoe between the rows. It is exhausting but at 815am we finally get to eat breakfast!
It is much different here but everything is done the organic way and that means No Pesticides! (and that induces extreme fits of pulling weeds.)
I will update again this week about another section of my day so stay tuned!
It sounds like you'll be an expert at gardening when you get home and your dad will let you take care all his gardening needs at home :) We had our UMCM meeting last night and some of the board members asked for your blog address so emailed it to everyone. We voted to have you take care of the landscaping at the UMCM building also. OK, just kidding. So good to hear from you, take care. Love you, Aunt Lisa
ReplyDeleteGlad to hear from you. Do we need to send lots of band-aids for your blisters? The weather here hasn't been to bad, but today it got rather hot. They have been talking rain all week, but so far you can't buy a raindrop. Maybe tonight. How's the weather there? I got your email and will try to send a care package. Let me know if there is anything else you might need. I love you, and as Jessie would say MTYEK.
