We met people have already gathered here and waiting for us. We were coming from Image Secondary School and it is about 1 ½ hour driving from there. This is the preaching place of the Ipogoro Parish. It is under an evangelist. Both the Ipogoro Pastor and the evangelist of Lundamatwe were here.

Purpose of the visit
• Measuring the demonstration plots
• Delivering rain gauge

Topics
1. Review of the handouts
Together with them we went through the handouts
o 2nd Visit Instructions
o DIRA and Institute of Agriculture Village Plot Agreement
o Plot Management FAQs
2. Demonstrations
o Rain gauge
We instructed them how to record rain using a rain gauge. One set of rain gauge was handed to the evangelist.
o Plots
We went outside of the church and together we measured the 1acre plot using miter tape. We measure two ½ acres plot. This plot will be used for corn. We could not get enough land around the church for another ½ acre for beans. We told them to look for more land for bean plot and they should measure it as we have measured this corn plot.

Comments
 The Pastor of Ipogoro Parish expressed his thanks to the institute and to the People of Augustana for the training and support of this plot at this preaching point. He encouraged the people here to make sure they take good care of the plot and learn from it.

Conclusion
It was approaching evening. We left, leaving behind the rain gauge and the task to them to get more land for the bean demonstration plot. We took Pastor of Ipogoro Parish and another church leader to drop them at Ipogoro.
