A bit of news...

This past week was a bit of a change of pace. We finished with the laundry room and I was then asked to move over to the sewing department, instead of going on the next construction job. Brian had asked me a couple weeks ago if I would be willing to do other things here, besides construction, and I had said of course. Especially if it was other brothers and sister who were all only french speakers! (the construction crew all speak just English) It ended up working out well as more construction guys have come in and there is not really a lot of work to be done at the moment so they were needing to find some other spots for the some of the brothers. So as of last Wednesday I am now on the Sewing/Laundry crew!!  My first job had nothing to do with that though......I got to work with two other sisters in the donation room! There was a large donation of suit coats, along with some full suits, sent from the United States. They were all hung up in a small room and then, using a master list, we called each brother here at bethel, according to seniority, to come and pick a few items. It too us 3 days to get through the whole list. It was so fun to be able to help out with it though. All of the brothers were so happy!! Although most of the suits, because of coming from the states, were huge on the smaller sized Congolese brothers, they were still smiling ear to ear, even if they could not find the "best" fit. Hopefully some of them will be able to get them adjusted.
