Adventures in Hair Cutting

We have had a great week this week!! Praise the Lord one of our two missing bags showed up!! Please continue praying for the other missing bag!! We also started language classes this week. They have proved to be challenging but we are learning a little more each and every day!! Praise God we do not have to do this without Him!! We'll post later all about our week but I couldn't resist sharing with all of you "The adventures of stylist Crystal and her one and only client, the brave Arnett!"

Arnett woke up this morning and decided we should try out the new clippers we bought yesterday. So we got out the box and looked at what we had. It looked like a pair of American clippers. He was pretty sure he need a #2 guard on the sides and a #3 guard on top. I had no clue, I mean I worked at the bank. I had never used a pair of hair clippers in my life!! So, I put the #2 guard on and started!! The back and sides were looking okay, so I put the #3 guard on. Well, guards here and guards in the states must be different cause it cut it really short!! At that point there was no turning back all I could do was try to make it look the best I could!! Then it came time to trim around the back of his neck and ears. I got the back of his neck done, then started on his ears. Well, that's where we really started running into problems. Like I said, I had never used a pair of hair clippers before so I wasn't exactly sure how I was supposed to be triming the hair around his ears without cutting his ear. The pictures below show you how short it is and that he now has a bald spot above one of his ears. It was quite comical and we got a good laugh out of it. At least it's hair and it will grow back!!

Thank you all for your prayers!! We'll post more later, until next time...
