3/24/2012

   Here it is Saturday.  Tomorrow is fast Sunday here and we want to find a ward on the outskirts of the city to attend.  We understand life is much different for the people there.  It is exciting to see the baby steps they are taking in their music programs.  Today in the Templo Tienda (very small distribution center) the sister we talked to about lessons a week ago has now been called to be the  music director in her ward.  There just happened to be a man there fixing one of the swinging doors there that was interested in the conversation we were having and soon disclosed that he is a bishop here and was happy to have that information.  It's been amazing to see how the Lord opens doors here for what He wants done. The average age here for a bishop must be 30.  You often have a member of a ward bishopric also called to be a counselor in a stake presidency.  I have learned to appreciate living in Utah where there is an abundance of members who know how the gospel organizations function.
   We understand Mike Pfanterstil came home yesterday.  What a miraculous blessing! Scott will never forget the time he spent in Kim and Nikki's home with Mike and Melissa having gospel discussions.  He sure loves those couples. We miss our ward and the wonderful people there.
    We see every day why the need for couple missionaries is so great.  We are just grateful to be here and hope we are helping in some small way.
   Since it is Saturday and would be wash day if we had any water, I am going to try to include a picture of our smiley face washer and our handy dryer eight floors up.  A picture of our one-person at a time kitchen is also included.  Notice that the kitchen area is just a little wider than the bedroom door.
