Well this is life in color (color), Today feels like no other (other)….

Friday of this past week was Holi, undoubtedly the Indian holiday that is best known in the West; at least there is a general idea that people throw colored powders or liquids on each other or rub them on each other’s faces. That, plus gathering with families and friends is pretty much the outward manifestation of the festival. Of all the Indian festivals, for most people Holi seems to just exist to have fun. There are four or more traditions associated with the origins of Holi that I have heard. It seems to vary depending on the part of India from which people come. But as noted, “playing colors” is consistent so that is what we’ll focus on. Here are some pictures of friends of ours who have experienced Holi in all its glory.













A few weeks ago a couple in our Branch got married. We have been so busy that we haven’t talked about it or posted any pictures. They are going to the Hong Kong Temple to be sealed on the 16th. We are very happy for Mumta and Prudhvi. They are a great young couple and I am sure they’ll be a force for good in the community and Church.






















That’s it for this week. A little short but that makes up for last week’s marathon blontry.



Namaste
