Threads of Hope Belize

The two ladies above are sporting some new reading glasses. Both had problem and now makes it

so much easier for them to read their Bible and sew. This is Tuesday morning at Rosanna's house.

Rafie was also very happy about receiving reading glasses. 

 

We started early this morning 1/26/17

.

The dew and the fog is so heavy in the morning that is sounds like it is raining when the moisture drips off the house. I walked to the car to load some things and I found this impression on the window. It seems that a bird must have not seen the car in the fog and smacked right into the window. By the way, the bird did live.

Class was great today, we finished up the embroidery and began cutting and organizing our fabrics for quilting. Below is everyone showing off their work. I didn't have anything to show so Ester let me help hold her work. They all did a beautiful job!! All are excited about beginning the new quilt project.  We limited the class to 8 ladies and we will have enrollment again next year. We ordered four machines which should be here tomorrow. Two ladies to one machine is a more manageable.

Recinos family has opened a little store near the school. Jesus was managing the store when we stopped for water. It's good to see her again.  Jessica's mom was there also relaxing and chatting. Nice to see both of them. Neither can come to sewing class because they work.

Comment from Joe - - -Just in case you didn't recognize me, I'm the tall one in the middle.

 We stopped by Miranda's after class today and caught up with Alesia at home working.  We found a dress that fit Veronica. Regardless of the look on her face she was very happy to get the dress. The rest of the family was gone. Maria was with her father at the hospital. He was just diagnosed with cancer.

Tomorrow we are back in Los Tambos to finish aprons and another small project. Saturday will be spent on several individual lessons.
