We are going to run out of clothes sometime early next year.  We are only doing clothing now with groups, and only when a container can be coordinated with other supplies.  When will the next one come?  Might be a year from now!  That will mean some changes for groups at some point, when there are no more for a time.  That will be interesting.  It will also be sad, because we know how much people look forward to those in many rural areas around the country.  

I've been absent from blogging mostly due to being way to busy to even think about it.  That last sentence by the way, is not something I am proud of...nor should we prize being busy.  Being occupied is one thing, but when I saw it has been two months, I knew that wasn't because there hasn't been many things to share while we have been in the US working for the mission, but rather just not having time to think about it.

We had chance in the USA to meet some very cool women that were making pillowcase dresses and had asked us if there was a need for such a thing.

I said sure.  I saw them and saw the work they had done, thought they looked good to me, but I had no idea how many smiles they would generate.  

The first distribution in Las Botijas through the Milk Project produced more smiling pictures, and just visible joy than I have seen here in a while, especially in a country where being stoic when pictures are taken is the norm.  

Used clothes are exciting enough, but new clothes are a big deal here, partially because for many...they are rare.  


While waiting on the group at the grocery store, I perused the used clothing store attached.  You can see here the prices on two pairs of fairly used shoes.  $56, and $46.  And these were fairly "well used."

Shoes especially is an area where we never have enough for the demand/need.  

It also explains, even for our staff, why they have been so excited that we can get them new tennis shoes for Christmas for the past several years.  If these are the prices for used, otherwise quality, shoes, imagine what new prices are here.  

All that to say...let's pray God will work out the details for more clothing and shoes to come soon.
