Ginger and more

The other day when we were out walking early in the morning for our exercise we met some guy who were out biking.They had stopped to chat as we came by so we stopped to chat as well After getting somewhat aquainted we asked the one who did most of the talking if we could stop by his house sometime and visit.He said we could so today we did.His wife,his sister and him were outside stirring some concoction in a huge metal bowl over a propane burner.Come to find out they mix ginger root, tumeric and sugar in water and then cook it for 5 hours stirring it constantly.It eventually turns into a powder which they then bottle and sell as a health food- ginger tea.We sat and watched the process for the last hour and sow this brownish/yellowish liquid transform into as powder right before our eyes.It was pretty fascinating and they seemed to enjoy our interest and even gave us a sample of the finished product.They said we could come back next Saturday and share our message with them.We'll see how that goes.Tonight we stopped and gave Brother Pesimo a blessing and share some scriptures with him.He used to work here where we live for the owners{who are also members} managing there business but somehow got in a tiff with the lady and decided he'd had enough and quit so was feeling bad about it all and needed a little encouragement.Lastly tonight we visited a less active family and talked to them about helping another less active family come back to church.They had been instrumental in bringing them into the church in the first place. Anyway I shared with them my story of visiting the Leveriza family I had baptised many years ago.Thereally liked it and the son said it really inspired him and said he would like to go on a mission.We hope he does!
