Capulanas

These ladies have used their capulana as costumes for a period play about the founding of Relief Society by the Prophet Joseph Smith.   I only know what it was about because one of our young institute (waiting for her mission call) teachers came in dressed like the Prophet.

 Many times the women of a group will all have the same capulana.

 The children are so cute.

 The children always have a place to rest, the women always have a shawl for the rain or sun.  I was told that the always have one when traveling to sleep on.

These are the sisters from Beira 1 branch.  We are celebrating the RS birthday.   The meal is usually chicken, fried potatoes, rice and coleslaw.
