We have had a rough week with different things not working out or running into obstacles hindering us from making progress with our transition. We have had our gardens be overun with bugs, oil lamps we've purchased not work, our shampoo eat Sandi's skin (a few weeks ago), as well as a feeling of discouragement.
When we stepped back as we were feeling discouraged we realized we had learned a lot from our mistakes and failures and were also succeeding in other areas.
Our gardens are doing awesome (thus all the bugs), we're learning about pests and how to control them, we obtained a rain barrel for $15.00, we shot our guns (that we've owned for over a year) for the first time, we learned olive oil does not work very good as oil in an oil lamp and we have been staying faithful to not using lights in our house, no air conditioning, no sodas, and we have also bought a juicer and have been using that faithfully once a day.
Learning from our failures is as important as learning from our success. I've attached a lot of pictures for you to look through.

Failing is not a failure unless you fail to learn from it.
Chris, Sandi, and Sol
