A good way to make a new friend is to stop and admire his nice garden. We pulled over last week to look closer at a wedge shaped area with neat well cultivated rows of corn, green beans, squash, melons and other vegetables. There aren't many gardens like this in Nuevo Progreso because the soil is poor heavy clay, so we were really impressed.
On our next trip to Nuevo Progreso Lloyd stopped and visited Noe (Noah) the owner of this garden, who was more than happy to show us around. Lloyd gave him a new garden sprinkler to help in his work. Noe was happy to get the sprinker, but was even happier to have his garden admired. Noe's mother Ninfa pointed out her favorite plants in the garden. We could tell she is very proud of her son's work.
On another visit we left them several more packets of garden seeds including okra and radishes. During our conversations with them we learned that Ninfa attends church in Nuevo Progreso, but Noe does not go to church. We're hoping that we can develop our new friendship with this family and continue to direct them toward the Lord.
