Yesterday and today we worked very hard at Yantana and Puyupungo churches. My part at both places included: cutting the tall grass on the outside all the way around the fences with a machete; then lugging I don’t know how many gallons of water and chemical on my back fumigating; weed-eating grass; helping Charles cut
