Today there is another improvement on our plot of land in the Philippines. We had a hard time clearing the thick tropical thickets alone, so we decided to hire workers. These men are Filipinos from our village. We didn't expect them to start early today and were amazed at how fast they worked. We brought them snacks and they were very happy. We visit them every day to see the improvements on the grounds and bring them snacks. After a few days, we decided to hire more people to make the cleanup go faster. Now we have two groups working together. The land is transforming from a jungle to a beautiful farm with lots of trees. We decided that we will make compost from the bushes that our people cut. This will be a very good fertilizer for our future garden. We have beautiful yellow flowers growing on our property. We were so happy and wanted to keep these tropical flowers, but the people who are clearing the area said they are not flowers but weeds. They grow very tall and can climb trees and then the trees die. After sitting at the farm for a while, we decided to have lunch at the carinderia.
A very nice gift came to us from Russia. The package contains several skeins of yarn, a set of hooks, a bag of chocolate nuts, packs of fermented tea and a fan. We are very happy with these gifts.
