Grandma's Farm

A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to visit the neighbor's mother/grandmother in Penonome, a town about a half an hour from here. She and most of her 13 children live along the
same dirt road with their farms growing out from there.

Here we were at the sugar cane press, where they squeeze the juice from the sugar cane and
then cook it down until it's molasses or until they can mold it.

Grandma was sick, but enjoyed our visit. She is a devout Catholic but thought it was wonderful "that we're serving the Lord."

This weekend she died. Our prayer is that we will be able to be a comfort to our neighbors. Every time we talk to them we see them opening up more to the True Gospel.
