Feelin' Good on A Friday

These photos brought me so much joy this week! 
Our missionary friends (who we sewed washable pads for ) finally made it back to the Ivory Coast. 
2020 was quite the journey for them trying to get home to Oregon to be with a dying parent, trying to maneuver closed borders and such. It was a whirlwind.
But they are "home" and she shared a few photos on facebook that made me smile. 


I love the woman with the cloth measuring tape around her neck. That's exactly what I do with mine!
Angelika says they are sewing clothing for their children.

With that I thought I better share a photo of the children! 

They are precious in His sight!


Maybe in 1 year I'll be getting ready to go on my mission trip. 

Have a joyous weekend!

    Very special, Lori!
    I do hope you are able to go on your mission trip sooner, rather than later. I purchased a few pieces of fabric on a sale table recently with "pillowcase dresses" in mind.

    I certainly hope you will be able to go on your mission soon. It has been such a trying year for so many, I sometimes forget how lucky I am to have family nearby.

    Lovely! We had a speaker at our quilt guild who had been to Kenya to help women make appliquéd pictures that were then sent to the USA and finished as wall hangings. The women were paid and the pictures were sold here. Very inspiring to help women learn things that will help their families.

    Such good pictures! Hope things return to normal eventually and you get to go on your mission. It's really a shame so many things have been turned upside down in the past year.

    The children are precious! And the fabrics the women are wearing and sewing are just beautiful. I'd love to have a treadle some day! Yes, I hope you will be able to go on your mission sooner than later. Jan in MA
