Where's Maldo?

Do any of you guys recognize this guy? This is a picture of the new bishop of our ward. Do any of you have a bishop that looks like this?! You can add this picture to the collection of Greg's bad pictures this week.

Our youth group at church played a fun little game tonight called Where's Maldo?. They asked some of the people in the ward to dress up in disguise and then walk around the mall (not in the stores themselves) and blend in. The kids then had to search around the mall to find all the people on their list. They had to approach each person and state who they were. In return they were given a sticker to verify that they had found that person.

Greg chose the urban cowboy look. His wonderful, full head of hair is actually the hood of a halloween costume I made for Adam a few years ago. It is a wolf costume. He just taped down the ears, and kind of pulled it together in the back to make a ponytail. He pulled out a little of the faux fur and stuck it on with a glue stick to make the nice little whiskers under his lip. I bought the hat at Goodwill and some cheap glasses at Wal-mart. Then I used some mascara to darken up his goatee area. The look was completed with a grungy t-shirt and a longer pair of cut off jean shorts. The kids and I went to the mall just to see everyone dressed up and to see their reactions to Greg. We of course did not walk around with him, but it was fun to see the others in our ward dressed up too. It did make for another scary picture of Greg though. What do you think? Posted by Picasa

Nice picture! That's a blackmailer for sure.

Awesome! I think it's a keeper. I'm sure that the youth won't soon forget how cool their bishop is (I know I sure wouldn't have). I think you should grow your hair out, Greg. It's a nice look on you.

Our bishop doesn't look like that. This was a great picture week for you Greg. How did the kids do in recognizing you?

That sounds like a fun game. I wish we had done that when I was a youth!

That's awesome! I wonder if our bishop would do that! Now Shane has another idea for mutual...
