New Sewing Project

Sister Watson and her husband work with the MTC's in our Area.  They also served at the Provo MTC for many years.  In Provo she learned about these modest 'mini cammies' to help Sister Missionaries be modest.  She brought some already sewn with her,  and we had a fun afternoon sewing on buttons. I am wearing a white one.    

Here is a black one - when it is hot is is nice to have coverage without wearing a whole camisole, or two shirts.  The MTC's asked for more so she had the pattern sent to her and gave it to me to cut some out.  
Here is the fabric laid out and  cut to measure - ready for sewing.,

Sister Watson went with me to the fabric store and found the right fabric. We also found the right size and color of elastic. The elastic goes around the bra strap and then buttons.  It is easy to zig zag the sides - but time consuming to sew the buttons! It's a good project that helps the sister missionaries as they go forth to serve!  We don't have any young sisters in our Johannesburg Mission, but they come to the MTC and then go to their assigned places in other African Countries.

Senior Couples Give Thanks!

On Saturday, November 27th, all the senior couples got together for a wonderful Thanksgiving Dinner.  So much delicious food and great company!  We made stuffing, deviled eggs and pumpkin cheesecake for our contributions.  Room full of such great senior missionaries!!   Darling Lilly, sleeping on Thanksgiving Day - Sam wanted us to see her cute dress!!   The Mission sewing machine - passed around from senior sister to senior sister - I used it for a week and then it wouldn't work!  We are taking it to a shop for repairs and Elder Smith bought me a new one - Singer basic - Merry Christmas to me! Fun African fabric I found at a local shop - will make great bowl cozies!  We found these cows on the side of the road near our Chapel in Kwa Thema!!  There were these pretty yellow Lily's also on our drive to church.

Area Office

  Sunday October 31, Elder and Sister Elggren drove us to our assigned ward - the Kwa Thelma 2nd ward.  It was Stake Conference and both wards met together - great talks!  Wonderful to meet the people we will be serving on Sundays.  It is about a 40 minute drive from the city - delightful children. The Temple is right next to the Area Offices - all are in a park like setting - an old estate that the Church purchased. View from behind the temple. Little lizard on the post of the steps into the office!   Part of the Office buildings - underground parking door in the middle of the picture. The door to our department. Desk in front is Elder Smith's - mine just behind it.  Further on is the Humanitarian couple's office. Interesting poster in another hallway.

Our Self Reliance Office

  Brother Philip showing Elder Smith some of the places we have Pathway students.  He has traveled extensively all over the world. He is really a wonderful manager - his office is right next to ours.  This is a poster we have been working on - the senior couples will take it to their individual chapels this weekend and ask the Bishop/Branch President if they can post it on the bulletin board...hopefully! Elder Smith hard at work! Copy machine in the background - Display behind it...for projects. Sister Smith hardly working!!   Both of our desks - it is nice to be working on this mission together.
