Sister Shaner was teaching a woman recently whose husband is a rice farmer. Sister Shaner mentioned something about the carabao and this lady said, "You mean you don't have carabao's in the U.S.?" She was so shocked to hear that Sister Shaner had never seen a carabao. She asked "Well, how do you get any work done?" Sister Shaner explained that we use John Deere--a tractor.
Here is a typical site in our mission. A carabao pulling a cart made of bamboo. When these animals aren't in the fields plowing they are hauling stuff to market or people to town. They truly are the work horse of this part of the world.
Another typical site are trycies with all kinds of sayings embroidered onto their roof covers. I often see things like "God's Gift." One of the popular sayings we have in the church is Choose the Right or CTR. This trycie obviously belonged to one of the members of the church.
