Scripture Bags


Sister Kimball invited Sister Taylor and us to help the Molepolole sisters sew scripture bags. Few if any of the sisters had sewn before. None of the sisters have their own sewing machines.


The ride to Molepolole is always an adventure. If you are not avoiding cows, donkeys, and goats you are avoiding cars coming at you in your lane when they should not be passing. In spite of the hazards it is quite a pleasant ride because of the scenery and villages. With the recent rains we have had the trees are starting to green up and flower. The trees come in all shades of green which look quite pretty with the red rocks.


Sister Kimball, Sister Taylor, and Sister Rands helped the Molepolole sisters with their sewing. Elder Kimball and Elder Rands helped set up chairs, tables, and sewing machines. They also glued cardboard in the bottoms of the bags. We all had a good time helping the sisters and they were thrilled with their finished scripture bags. At least a dozen bags were completed.


Sister Taylor brought cookies. We brought brownies. The Molepolole sister brought punch, biscuits, and chips. As usual, any food left at the end of an activity was piled on plates and taken home.
