Who owns a riding lawn mower? Not us. Who owns a self propelled mower? Not us. Who owns a push mower? Not us. Who owns one of those green metal rotating blade "lawnmowers" on wheels? Not us. Who owns a machete? Jacob. Jesus is good at providing, that right there is not sarcasm, and never will be. If we need a drill, we ask Ines, Roberto, or Carlos. If we need a drill bit, we ask Carlos. If we need screws, usually Roberto. Roberto and Angel will help cut grass with a machete when we need it. We use buckets from our neighbors, there is one "machine" (weed-eater) which is generally hard to get hold of. It's amazing to see this level of community, even if it is insanely frustrating sometimes chasing something down based off word of mouth because someone else generally has what you need, usually across the village, until you get there, but it builds patience. If you want to try cut your grass with a dull machete, 1) you don't deserve your lawn mower, appreciate it more, give it a hug or give it to us 2) you won't get anywhere until a Honduran teaches you how by doing a few square feet for you 3) you are lacking spiritual guidance, read your bible more 4) it'll take a few days once you muster up the motivation to start, then continue, then post about it before you actually finish.
