Another Tender Mercy.
The Polynesian culture is all about sharing and food - sharing a lot of food. This mission is known as the forty pound mission, because if you serve on the Hawaiian islands, you easily gain forty pounds.
Well, that leads to tight slacks for the Elders. (You might think I wear aloha dresses because they're cute!) I have let out several pair of suit slacks and baptism pants. And patched holes from bike crashes. And sewn shirt pockets that were over stuffed. We have used the sewing lab at BYUH. We have borrowed machines from willing branch members.
This is a nice Bernina machine, that is a loan from our neighbor.
Elder Cameron gets in on the fun, by doing some of the hand work.
We were gifted this beauty, by another senior couple, that are going home, with the stipulation that we pass it on when we're done. We are the fourth owners to have stewardship. It has been well cared for and kept dry, so it is performing well. We are soooooo pleased.
Aloha
Yay for sharing!
