Since my talents are more in the sewing line, I asked a man, Kudjo who was a teacher, to make my beads while I filmed him on Marco Polo for the grands. He was very meticulous and told me all about the process as he worked. I found out he has been a member of the church since 2006.

Watching my friends work through their beads was really interesting and fun. Some were very intent and focused and some wanted to fill their beads up quickly. Some wanted to try elaborate patterns and some went for the quickest fill - and everyone else in between.
