The land

Well it was a great day yesterday, we had a shorter than normal service in church (that's not the great bit!!) and then everyone walked down to our land and we had a service on it. We explained to people what the project was about and how they can be involved, we hope that a lot of the church will volunteer in many ways. It was so encouraging to see everyone there on our newly cleared land praying for the project and getting excited about it. It was possibly one of the hottest days here I have experienced so was thoroughly worn out afterwards and needed to drink buckets of water to feel a bit more human again.
It is amazing though everything I go down to the land it just seems to get bigger and bigger each time. The volunteers from the church did such a good job of clearing it so it is weed free and nearly flat, I am going to try to find out this week what trees and grass we can plant on it, very exciting!!!
