Many of the villagers were wearing traditional clothing and beads. A few villagers were wearing American-style clothing, which created quite a dissonance. T-shirts touting Obama seemed most out of place and the old Boy Scout shirt was another oddity.
The women where Pastor Phillip lives in Matany made some beautiful traditional clothing and beads for us and they invited us to try them on there in that dark one-room home. What woman doesn’t cringe at the thought of announcing before a room full of people that the item is too small?You are not imagining that my face is glowing a bit, burnt again. From left to right: Leslie, Laura, Becky, Gabriel, Brandy, and Rebecca. In the picture to the right are Laura and Agnes, Pastor Phillip's wife. What beautiful and thoughtful gifts from these women.
While outside fending off mosquitoes and posing for pictures, I soaked in the fact that I was in the farthest reaches of Africa staring at a most beautiful full moon. How cool is that!
