We got one of our Tanzanian friends James to help us in our yard, too. After having been away from our headquarters for awhile, there was a lot of catch-up work to be done on the grounds: cleaning, pruning, fertilizing, etc.
James originally worked as our night guard a few years ago. We would wake in the morning to the sound of the hedge clippers or pruning shears, and we quickly came to understand that what he really loved was plants. So he began making a little extra money helping us with our yard.
When we had to leave Tanzania for an extended period of time, James became the full-time gardener to our missionary friends. (We were able to hire him for one day this Saturday, to help us get this yard back under control.)
James is such a great Christian brother. He is a joyful worker who is so pleasant to have around.
