This
rice field has a small bunch of seedlings in each group. We have only seen the seedling hand planted
but in the large fields it seems that there should be some automation. Seedlings are grown in flats in green
houses.
Some of the fields are starting
to dry up. We occasionally see others
fields still being planted. I wonder if
they have a long enough growing season to spread harvesting time out.
The last picture looks like a grain storage
unit. It is huge and surrounded by rice
patties.
The missionaries in the Kumamoto/Nagamine Wards came over about lunch time today with birthday cake and spam rice rolls made by the Sister missionaries.
Terry ordered three large pizza
and we had a birthday party.
I love the
creative birthday card the missionaries made and then each of the Elders and Sisters signed it for him.
At
our zone meeting on Tuesday the lesson was on having faith. This scripture in Alma 32:21 is a favorite of
mine. “And now as I said concerning
faith - ‘faith is not to have a perfect knowledge of things; therefore if ye
have faith ye hope for things which are not seen, which are true.’” It reminds me of the little girl who brought
lunch to her father who was digging a well.
Her father asked her to drop his lunch to him. When he looked at it he noticed there was
enough for two and asked her to jump down to him and join him for lunch. She could not see him. Her father reassured her he would catch her. She jumped having faith that her father would catch her. We need to be like the little girl and have
faith that Heavenly Father will not ask us to do something we cannot do. We need to take the first step and he will be
there to help us accomplish what he has asked of us. Terry and I have found this principle to be
true in our lives. We have often felt
Heavenly Fathers presence as we take the step into the dark.
