Had a wonderful time connecting with the people of San Vicente this past week. Celebrating a Sunday service with the saints, praising the Lord in Spanish, and catching up with friends. It doesn't get better than this.
I was able to meet with the three ladies that are currently taking their sewing skills to new heights by making items to sell. It was good to see that they have been working on purse projects even when I'm not around. Shows initiative! I was happy to spread around lots of encouragement while helping them work through struggles. Yolanda and Erika are having to rearrange things as both have had to move into smaller places in the last month. Albina used every opportunity of my visit to glean. She even swayed her daughter and sister to assist her in cutting fabric for her next batch of purses. We joked about how someday her sewing business will grow and she can hire family members to work for her. Her current goal is to sell enough so that they can get electricity into their home. Can't wait to see them all again in April.
