Sarah has been wanting to get her own sewing machine for a long time. We'd been looking for a machine since December and got one last week. She is pictured above with the machine in her house.
Since her dad passed away, her family has made it clear that Sarah and her sister will need to find ways to financially support themselves. Sarah's plan is to make bags to sell and to charge for things like clothing repair.
In the background are some bags that will be sent to a supporter in the states. He is hoping to market the bags as a fund-raiser for the church in Los Higos. Sarah is also making a profit on the bags that will help her and her family.
Please pray that Sarah will increase in skill and confidence and that she will be a wise manager of the money she makes. Pray that the money that will be raised for the church will be wisely invested for the expansion of God's Kingdom in Los Higos.

Hey Sarah! :)
Tell her to keep up the good work :)
I just saw my sister last week. She still has the bandanna Sarah made for her & her picture up on her wall. She does great work!
Love reading your updates...we were thinking of you as we readied our square foot gardens. Ordering some heirloom seeds from Baker Creek and can't wait to start planting. Will let you know if we grow anything- HA! We know you are busy- thanks for the blog entries- we like to stay connected. God bless all the seeds you have so tenderly planted!
thanks for the encouragement!
Sarah has been sewing like mad! Yesterday she made 6 bags in one day to send to a fella back in Iowa! I'm so proud of her hard work, responsability, and faithfulness!
That's wonderful! It's got to be exciting for you and Sarah to see as she works hard, helps her family and does something with her hands! I like to sew (cute sewing machine, by the way) for fun, gifts, household stuff and I enjoy it and it fulfills a creative desire and some needs/wants, but not quite like it will empower Sarah as she grows. Yay!
