Henna

The women here like to have black feet, not just there normal color but the put henna on their hands and feet and then use a chemical that turns it black so Rachel and I had the henna tattooing done to our hands and feet. The girls who did the designs are amazing artist; they look at a picture and then paint it onto our hands and feet with no stencil or anything. They also use only a little plastic bag with the corner cut off to draw on out feet. It wears off in a few weeks and I will have to have it redone but here are some pictures so you can see how creative these girls are.

Could you please wake that girl on the couch and tell her to get to work. She could be cleaning the house of grinding some millet for supper. Looks like you two are learning a lot about the customs and about the people. Hope you gals learn how to fix good tasting millet before we get there. Thanks for keeping sissy safe and healthy. See you all in January.
Steve.
