On Monday (16th September) we went out to the Potato Patches with some of our island friends. This is an area of fertile land some two miles or three kilometres from the village. It is here where the islanders farm potatoes, as well as some other vegetables. We were able to help in the farming process - and I even took my turn in covering the potatoes with soil! It reminded me of my time with Candace's family, when I helped plant corn in Indiana. There will be more photos of the Potato Patches in a future blog.
Throughout West Africa, Europe, South Africa, the USA, and the South Atlantic Ocean. Our adventure continues as we seek God's will for our life after Mercy Ships.

He is no fool who gives
what he cannot keep to gain
that which he cannot lose.
