The Scarves

A large percentage of the people here are Muslim.  It's a custom that the Muslim women wear scarves to cover their hair when they go out.  Lynn says the scarves emphasize their beautiful faces.  I wish they would take them off so I could see what they really look like.




Someone explained that the scarf is an article of clothing that a woman wears to demonstrate her devotion to God and to remind her of her covenant to follow Him.  It is a protection to her both physically and spiritually.  Doesn't that sound a lot like the LDS temple garment?
