Sewing



Wow!! What can I say, these ladies are amazing and so enthusiastic about sewing. There were 30 that came yesterday! Yikes! And 2 men want to learn too. They stayed all day and are so patient. I can already see a handful that will teach sewing after we leave. The rest of the time I'll just work with these 6 or 7 ladies. I have a wonderful helper, Margaret who translates and knows how to sew as well. She also works at the children's home.

I was so worried about teaching them the right thing so we just started with the basics...it's enough for right now. But they learn so quick and are so eager to learn. So cool!

Michele, can I stay longer?? jk

Josh, thanks for the superstar song!!
Jess, thanks for the pics of Beckett on the camera.:)
Joshua, thanks for many things!
Micah, thanks for the letter, yea, I cried.
Mom, don't worry, just pray!!

Love,
Darby
