Shoe repair

> Yesterday, Susan broke her shoe. Actually, where a strap was sewn into a seam, the seam let go. She loves these shoes for Kenya as they look nice, they are comfortable, and they aren't black so they don't show the dust/dirt so much.

> One good thing about Eldoret is that they have everything in town. The first time we came with David Matthews, one of the people he introduced us to was James, a shoe cobbler friend of his that went to the same church when the Matthews' used to live here. My Swahili teacher was able to show me on a map where to find him as he works in one of the alley shops and is difficult to find if you don't know where to look.

> It took him about five minutes to do the repair. He cut off the loose and frayed threads, dabbed some glue on the end of the strap that had come out, inserted it back into the seam, and used his tools to hand sew the seam again. Perfect!
