Some trivial Success!

SUCCESS!!!

 

Now I know you're not going to be as excited as

I am about the following picture,

but if you knew how long I've been trying to grow tomatoes and are a gardener yourself, maybe you can understand.

 

Even though we are in the warmest season, it's just a bit too cold and windy where I live for my tomato plants to survive outside. So, I have them next to the glass doors of our little terrace.  Bringing them inside creates a problem with pollination.  I read on the internet that the vibration of a sonicare toothbrush can mimic the vibration of a bee collecting pollen.  Sure enough, I ran my sonicare toothbrush against the stem by the flowers and the pollen came falling out onto my hand, then I just spread it to the other flowers. 

VIOLA!!  Finally ...We have tomatoes!!!!

Just a trivial fact for the day!

Another update on the pioneer work.

 

Baptism

 

 

 

 

Last Sunday evening we had a baptism service.  Here are some of the young people that were baptized that day.

 

Afterwards of course we had some eats!! And I was surprised to find some little helpers in the kitchen.

 

 

 

 

Here we are again,..this time learning some English.

The beautiful Andes.
I still can't believe I live here.
