I think that it is very good that FH has taught us to build family gardens. Now I can produce all kinds of vegetables like cabbage, carrots, beets, chard and lettuce. That makes me very happy. Now I feed my children with vegetables that we produce in our garden. I thank FH for teaching us how to feed our children with vegetables to accomplish God’s will. My biggest joy is that now we have vegetables to live better than before”.
