Today is the first day we have had to really work at home and get caught up. This past week we had Relief Society and Branch Presidency training at each branch with our other classes. In my training I really tried to emphasize how important it is to prepare the families to store some of their harvest. “Prepare as if there will be a drought next harvest”. The Relief Society President in Kyambeke said “Sister Hall you don’t understand the harvest looks good for January but we only get enough food to feed our families for four to five months. There is not enough food to save for the next harvest”. I feel foolish and embarrassed because I really don’t comprehend all their burdens and trials. In Bruce’s training he focused on reviewing the past year and use it to set goals and plan for the new year. It was a good week but happy to have a break. Tomorrow we are headed for Mitini and we will see Primary Program.
This is Emily's Tailor Shop. She is teaching Lucy how to sew. She is holding up a paper blouse she has made. Emily told me you learn to sew everything with paper first then cloth. Emily always looks fancy.

I wonder if you will miss the food when you get home. I know how they feel about food storage.
Wow, you did cover a lot. I'm glad you finally got some time to catch up.
I would think sewing with paper would be hard.
Love the stories and pictures. You have used every minute of your mission to do the Lord's work, what a great example!
