In the spirit of the law of conseration, we have asked the missionaries to give any clothing to the Honbu they don't want or can't take with them when they transfer or go home from their missions. The apartments were full of old clothing that no one knew who it belonged to. I asked them to box it all up and we would pick it up the next time we were in their area. The closets in the extra bedrooms in the Mission Home has become the storage for all of this clothing that looked good enough to keep. If Elders need a white shirt, a suit, a tie, baptismal clothing, socks or coats, we have quite a selection. The Shimai can get a blouse, skirt, dress, nylons, socks, shoes, boots, coats, sweaters--just about anything they need in many different sizes.
This day, the Sakomoto couple brought Maria and the two Tagajo sisters to the Honbu to do some "shopping", Maria just received her mission call and is from the Ishinomaki Branch where the Sakamotos live. She needed clothing to take on her mission and I was happy to provide a few articles of clothing to help her.
They brought their own lunch to eat before the shopping spree.
We took out all the drawers of clothing and opened the closet doors and let her "go to town".
Sister Bohnet and Sister Takatska were having too much fun!
They each found bags of treasures.(Sis Bohnet and Maria)

Talking the the President before they left. I think they all did OK for themselves.
