The aquaponics has made a lot of progress this year but is not up and running. We have put in a fence and we had it going for 3 days, but then a child went into the system through a gap in the fence I thought was not big enough and messed with all of the valve positions, which wound up throwing the water balance off and causing the system to have to be shut off for a few days to wait for more water. This process allowed algae to grow in the tanks and the tubes. There were also tadpoles galore in all of the grow-beds and tanks when we had to shut the pump off and the water was stagnant. I believe that the aquaponics will work because “in all labor there is profit” (Proverbs 14:23), but it is very possible that God’s plan was to use me to literally lay the foundation. I will be working with Sayra and getting advice from Mollie’s dad, who works in aquaponics, up until I leave, and God will give the increase. I usually want to do everything but that caused me to hit a period of burn out and God is teaching me to live in love with Him and His body, and do what I can while trusting Him to give the increase.
