Sewing Projects

08/01/2011

Lisa, Haylely, and I just finished our 5th week in Uganda.  This past week was spent in Kampala participating in a sewing party with the Uganda team: Lilian, Florance, and Lydia.  It reminded us of the sewing party with the VBC women / girls as we sewed  dresses for the  Kishanje orphan girls the week before we left for Uganda.  This time we were busy cutting, pinning, and sewing PJ’s and sports shorts for the children. Deb Mogel was a part of starting this project before we arrived and we continued on full speed.  

One of the five days we were without electricity so we used our time cutting and pinning fabric.   As soon as the electricity came on we worked diligently to catch up for lost time.  We finished Saturday evening with nearly 100 PJ's and 50 shorts for the children.  We hope to get some pictures of the children to post later in their dresses, shorts, and PJ's.  God blessed us richly as we shared in sweet fellowship with the Ugandan team as we sewed together.  His presence was felt each day as we prepared these gifts for the orphans.  Thanks for your prayers for electricity in order that we would be able to accomplish the sewing projects.  Also, prayers for our safe travels!

We serve an Awesome God,

Linda
