We've been waiting for the water to come on for long enough to shower so we could go to the temple.You just hate it when you are in the middle of shampoing your hair and the water goes off! Our friends from upstairs came down around noon to tell us that the owners of this building are planning on digging a well in two weeks so we could have water all of the time. Just don't know where they will find the space to to that since everything they own is either apartment or cement parking. And we all know that
their two weeks could mean two months or more! We heard the water come on and our friends were out of here in a flash so they could shower before it went off again.
The Area Presidency has been in Salt Lake for Conference and was to come home yesterday but didn't make it until today. They meet with the area Seventies, Stake Presidents, and Bishops here this weekend and want Scott to take ten minutes to go over our area music plan - so glad not to be him!! That will be a tremendous help in encouraging the leaders to get their music programs going. I'm learning alot through this experience that has reinforced to me just how important music is in bringing the spirit to meetings. Here they could certainly use much practice time - like they cut out of Relief Society. You can be playing along and all of a suddent realize they are four measures ahead of you or two behind. They haven't had accompaniment to learn the notes or the timing so even when they do have it they don't know how to follow it. Certainly is a work in progress! D&C 25:11,12
We went to the temple last night and when we came out it looked like the heavens had opened and just dumped water. If it rained like that at home we would have a flood. More interesting is that 20 minutes after a rain like that you would not even know it rained The streets are dry and the water runs down the trenches on both sides of the roads (to I don't know where) but it just disappears.
Scott ended up teaching the Spanish class today because Elder Hammon was stuck out of town somewhere - we found out later that he was at a beach! Some excuse that was....We got to the 6:00 temple session tonight.
