This past year while we were gone, the church bought property (before they met in the yard of our colleague). There was already a shed on the property (where they store the chairs) with a small covered patio. For services we sit outside – wherever there is most shade. Saturday we had a church work day and I couldn’t help but think about how different a work day would look in the states.
This is the way we cut the grass - with a machete and a horse
Then we rake the leaves and grass into piles. Even the kids help. Notice the Paraguayan girl’s homemade broom made from dried weeds.
Then the leaves are carried to the corner of the property. A LOT of trips are made.
This is how we dispose of it all – the leaves are burned and the cows eat the branches.
