The First Sewing Class

The branch has a new sewing machine. It is a Singer Machine. We decided to make rice bags for the cold nights. We probably should have each made several to last through the season.

Our first victim was Csilla. She was a great sport and it is basically impossible to ruin a rice bag.

Anna was our second RS sister to take a crack out sewing and she was excited with the finished product and made two more. One for the RS president, who helped fill the rice bags, and one for the branch president. We made ten bags in all.

Elder Bullock decided that he would like one for his aching back. I hesitated to tell him that is going to take more than a rice bag to help backs that sleep on a board and four inch foam pad. Trust me Steve and I know this.

Elder Olsen also needed one and he knew his way around the sewing machine.

It was also the primary activity a dress up party kind of like Halloween. They had two leaders in there and two primary age children and Bianka, the one young woman in the branch.

These are Csilla's sons, Fetzo and Laszlo. They came because it was also cleaning the branch house day. That is why the missionaries are in casual clothes. It is the first time I have worn my jeans outside the apartment.

This picture includes Peter and his wife Timea behind him. He is the only counselor in the branch presidency and keeps busy keeping us doing what we are suppose to be doing. He teaches English and interprets for us when we speak.

And last but not least Sandor with Elder Olsen. He came to help with the cleaning. Between the cleaning, sewing and party a good time was had by all.
