Today I still have sparkles all over my face and neck from 'playing Phagwah' last night. My hair is still stained red from all the powder thrown on me. And who would do such a thing to me? The elders, of course!

About 8 pm last night, after answering a knock at my door, I was greeted by Elders Lee and Jordan. They had come to show me all the colored powder that had been thrown on them. When I started to take their photo, they insisted I be in the photo with them.
As I stepped towards them, suddenly, I was baraged with powder from the top of my head to my feet by the two of them aided by their 3 accomplices,who were hidden from my view Nanda and her two daughters, .

Does Elder Lee look like he is loving life...and Phagwah?

One more group photo to include the whole powdery group. Can you see all the stuff in my hair and on my face and neck...and all over my clothes?

Elder Jordan just kept pouring powder all over his head and everyone else. He is from Georgetown and is a true Guyanese, so he is an old pro at celebrating Phagwah!

Sister Bullock,
We heard all about Phagwah in Elder Lang's letter last week. He had also been ambushed. Good times.
