For years we have wanted to buy a little farm. The purpose was more than self-sufficiency. We wanted to raise our children where the law of the harvest is a way of life, and provide a place for family gatherings for generations. My great-grandparents bought a “ranch” for that purpose and I wouldn’t know most of my cousins without that place. It’s so much fun! There is no stronger tradition and much of my testimony and yearning for Zion comes from the wholesome recreational activities there with my family.
During these last four years, we have been seriously saving and looking for our farm. We made list upon list of things that we wanted it to have. Sometimes I would wake up and be surprised that we didn’t have it yet because the picture was so detailed in my mind.
