The village wash is hung out to dry.
The women take pride in hanging clothes in an order,
largest to smallest. When the clothes lines are full the women lay
mats out on the ground and the wet clothes are laid on the mats.
On really hot days, the women place the clothes on the tin roofs of
their homes. Some of the women have washing machines but most
use the river and a rock to wash on. Very few of the village
women have clothes dryers.
Sister Johnson, Pete and Pauline have just finished the wash.
Sister Johnson and her husband love the color purple.
Every Saturday the children find a place to take a bath.
Every day the tourist wash in the waves of the ocean.
Wash day means a walk to the local river where the washing
machine is a rock and scrubbing brush. When
the clothes are finished the women jump in the
water and wash themselves.
D & C 76:41
"That he came into the world, even Jesus, to be crucified for the world, and to bear the sins of the world, and to sanctify the world, and to cleanse it from all unrighteousness;"
