Mom's sewing classes are swiftly becoming a highlight for both the women who attend and for Mom and I. As the women sew, they chatter among themselves and ask questions of Mom. I love getting to watch the interactions, with a little bit of English, a little bit of Portuguese, and then normally a call for Lewis to translate. Lewis is a fellow from one of the local churches who speaks English, Portuguese and three other Mozambican languages. His father was a tailor. His wife comes to the class and brings five month old son. Lewis, perhaps because of his father, seems very comfortable translating for a sewing class. I think most men in our church would be scared to try!
This picture is one of my favorites:
