Dressed to Impress

African clothing is beautiful. Where we were in West Africa many people wore clothes with colorful patterns, made to fit by seamstresses and tailors. I loved the clothes. The women wore such gorgeous outfits everyday; my clothes felt so boring and drab in comparison.

There are all kinds of different designs of the clothes themselves and the fabrics. Some people design their own fabric.

When I visited Daniel’s church in Cotonou, the pastor gave fabric to me that ladies in their denomination (AssemblĂ©es de Dieu) designed. It was for both Susan and me. The Wycliffe Benin office arranged for a seamstress to come in to make some clothing for us from it.

So, now Susan and I both have our own African outfits.

    I'm waiting on my first tailored African shirt to be finished…hopefully next week. Good stuff, isn't it?
