Chopping Sugar Cane in my backyard

At Taylor's very nice house in La Libertad. He cut down a sugar cane and gave us all a bite. It was not as ripe as it could have been but good just the same. He passed the leftovers to the kids next door who were excited to receive the simple gift.

Alma 17: 9-12

...and they fasted much and prayed much that the Lord would grant unto them a portion of his Spirit to go with them, and abide with them, that they might be an instrument in the hands of God to bring, if it were possible, their brethren... to the knowledge of the truth ....
...the Lord did visit them with his Spirit, and said unto them: Be comforted. and they were comforted.
And the Lord said unto them also: Go forth among the Lamanites, thy brethren, and establish my word; yet ye shall be patient in long-suffering and afflictions, that ye may show forth good examples unto them in me, and I will make an instrument of thee in my hands unto the salvation of many souls....
... (and they) took courage to go forth unto the Lamanites to declare utno them the word of God.
