Use of sewing machines

13 Sept 2011
This evening we took an Eternal Marriage lesson book to President Shongwe, a counselor in the District Presidency so he could use it for counseling sessions.  Sister Blackburn had loaned a sewing machine to Sister Shongwe and taught her how to make pillow cases and a differen apron pattern and she said she has been selling them in Mbabane and that is how they are feeding their family right now, if it were not for the sewing machine and the items she learned how to make they would not have food in their house.  Another Tender Mercy from our Heavenly Father to take care of his righteous children.  Explained to the family that they should never carry heavy burdens on their heads because of the wear on the discs of the spine.  They did not know this and were very impressed; Branch President Shongwe said he would not have his new wife carry such burdens.  This is such a righteous family and we truly love them.
