Becoming 'one' with where you live!

This week I decided to become 'one' with the culture here in Madagascar.  I got corn rows!

One of the Sister missionaries, Sister Guilamba from Mozambique, has been braiding several of the other Sister's hair; and they all look so cute.  Since the time we used to spend lots of time in the Bahamas, I've always wanted to get a few corn rows and get my hair out of my face when the wind blows.  I got brave and did it.

Sister Guilamba came in on Monday, their P-Day, ready to give me some braids.  We sat out in the lobby and no one missed what was going on.  Just wished I had had my camera ready to take pictures of the all reactions from the missionaries.  Pretty funny.

I believe that you should always try something you have always wanted to do.

They are 'tight' cornrows, my head was tender last night, but feeling much better today.

Elder Lambert kept us entertained.

Elder Cartmill, one of the Office Elders, thought it was okay!

 I love having my hair out of my face.  It is just getting to the length where it is driving me crazy.  But then, 'crazy is a short trip some days'!  I'm going to enjoy the new look for a little while.
