What missionaries do, continued!


I forgot all about the sewing room! There is a huge building that is dedicated just to sewing! There is material galore in this room, 6 surgers, 8 to 10 sewing machines, cutting counters to die for! Everything to make the sewing experience a pleasant one--and to add to it, there are actually misisonaries here who know how to use all these tools!

No! We aren't one of those knowledgable ones...but with all the new missionaries coming in, needing clothing, the Sisters in the sewing room were starting to fee the pinch. They called for reinforcements--and all the missionaries were being used at the sites--so we rolled up our sleaves and volunteered.


The fact that they let us in, shows how desperate they were for help!
I'm not particularly fond of sewing, but with all the tools and such good company, it turned out to be quite a fun day!
