Since all of the information on the computer is in Spanish I haven't been able to find how to post on the blog - don't laugh! We are now in our sixth day here and it seems like months, hope the time goes faster as we get more involved .They were serious when they told us that we would define what our mission here would include - that is after we get the music in the area organized. The organization will be interesting since these people don't believe in planning and organizing! When we get a car we will start visiting the stake presidents and the high councilmen over music - which we guess will be about two in each stake. We first can train them out of the handbook then organize ways for them to learn how to lead and play so they can teach in their own wards. Sound easy but I'm sure it will be challenging here.
We are moving today into our apartment right on the corner of a busy street so with the horns honking, police cars' sirens; the screeching of tires you really get a taste of what life is like here.You can look out the balcony window and see the ocean about a mile away- which is going to take some getting used to for me! All I can see is the possibility of all that water washing us away! We have met wonderful people here. The temple president wants us to work a couple days a week - that would be a great opportunity for us. Hopefully we can get out to the stakes and wards and start working on some of their needs. Pres. Hernandez assigned us to a branch then President Anderson said we would not be able to do that because we would be visiting all wards and branches in the area.. They are in such need of senior couples! Some of you come out and join us .
We had our first experience with the rain here the other day. It started sprinkling while we walking down town and Scott said it would be over in a minute. Well instead of stopping it started pouring like a bucket of water being poured over you. Needless to say, we were very wet when we got back to the Casa. The Dominicans laugh and say you need always to be prepared for the rain.
It feels hot here now to me, can't wait to see what summer brings since this is their cold season. Must go pack!
