I went and had my first Italian hair cut. It was interesting. Presidente talked to the owner about the razor cut and then went back to the apartment to study. I had two people work on my hair. The lady washed my hair and the owner razor cut my hair. He cut and cut and cut. I had to stop him a couple of times because he was starting to cut at the scalp! While I was getting my hair dried he cut some more. In the end they thought they and created a beautiful "Do" so I will be happy. One of the ladies waiting to be cut was trying to help the owner communicate with me. I tried to explain I was a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ, finally took off my badge and handed it to the lady and she read. ---OH a Missionary!!!That had been said many times but what I said and what they heard must have been miles apart! 
I now have the Joan Rivers cut. Well it is going to be very hot here and I know I will be grateful for less hair!
The roses were a gift from a family, Vencenzo is a member but no one else. The sisters have worked and worked with them and so have the elders, but they are settling on the Jehovah Witness. We are often mistaken for them, but is hurts to see this family come so far along and turn away. Years of lessons for them.
