It was Friday, May 28th<\/sup>, 2021. The moon was full and shone so brightly, even ten minutes before a 5:19am sunrise, as we made the ten minute drive from our house in the town center to my mother-in-law’s village where her rice field is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I was excited to become more familiar with my Korean family’s way of life. I had spent time living in the same house as my Korean family, but hadn’t really experienced assisting hands-on in the areas of farming. (I did get to do kimjang, making kimchi, a few times!) I was also excited because I enjoy helping others do things in general, especially outside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was quite cold this early, and the mist was fairly thick, covering up some mountains. I needed a pair of t-shirts and two more sweaters to start out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After parking at the house to change and grab some gloves, we walked over to the field across the street. My mother-in-law had already been out and we could see the rice-planting tractor had just pulled into the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While the moon was still shining over the misty mountains, my wife began passing the trays of dew-soaked rice to the lady running the tractor, so I could watch and do likewise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
