Grafting and as it relates to missions
I grew up in Nebraska which is predominately an agricultural society. However, in complete honesty here, I do not have a green thumb. At our home in Utah we had a small garden. We grew strawberries, rhubarb, and even had some grapevines. However, the best fruit that we ever harvested came from the grapevines that hung over our fence from the neighbor's yard! I may not have much of a green thumb, but lately I have been thinking a lot about the process of grafting and how it relates to missions. "Grafting is a horticultural technique whereby tissues of plants are joined so as to continue their growth together. In most cases, one plant is selected for its roots and this is called the stock or roo tsto ck. The other plant is selected for its stems, leaves, flowers, or fruits and is called the scion. The scion contains the desired genes to be duplicated in future production by the stock/scion plant." ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grafting) Ther
