We are blessed with friends who have all sorts of know-how. Some can weld metal frames for solar panels, others can fix crazy problems with our truck, some can help us with sudden medical problems, and still others bless us with words of encouragement, stories, and prayer. Sometimes we pay for these aids with money, sometimes with a Tupperware of cooked manioc leaves, and sometimes just a thank you and a smile. We are grateful to be surrounded by community, in the best sense of the term.
