For this newsletter, I’d like to tell you all about my weekend the other weekend. On Saturday the 27th, I had the opportunity to go to a festival. This wasn’t just any normal festival. This was the Festival of Colors.
Story Time
In India, the Hindus celebrate the coming of Spring with the Festival of Colors at the end of every March. They have a big festival about peace, love, and unity… and throw colored powder everywhere!
End of Story Time
I’d tell you the actual story of how it came to be, but I don’t remember it that well. Google it if you’d like.
So they also have a Hindu temple near here in Spanish Fork, Utah. So a friend and I decided to go. It was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. We had a blast and were highly entertained. The culmination of the festival was when they had a countdown to zero. When the countdown was finished everyone threw their bags of colored powder into the air and the world became a cloud of colorful dust. To help everyone appreciate the coolness of this festival, I’ll include a few photos and even a video or two. Just remember the purpose of the festival, and try to emulate all of these things as MASAP members.
LOVE. PEACE. UNITY. FUN.
Here’s the video:
And of course, some pictures:
I hope you all go next year!

Mr. President. Hippy. Peacemaker.
Can we yet confirm or deny if Matt Pace is the gentleman in the foreground of the first picture?
ReplyDeleteyou know, i'm not sure, but i made sure to tag him just in case. besides, if it is not matt pace, it is some other equally beautiful male specimen, which if proved not to be matt, would still remain a clear compliment.
ReplyDeletei wonder what your lungs looks like after this. Are they all pretty and colorful?
ReplyDeleteYour kleenex is colorful every time you blow your nose for about a week afterwards...
