Today started with a trip to the LaPaz building for another zone conference. They tell us not to be there till 10:00 am then call us at 9:30 and ask if we are coming. We are usually sitting in the parking lot of the church practicing speaking Spanish. I am amazed at these young missionaries! We get there in time for their testimony meeting which has had the Mission President in tears every time. Today during Scott's presentation he was asking how many of the missionaries played the piano and slowly one raised his hand, then another, then another - Scott started doing the auctioning thing you know the give me one one one, now give me two two etc .. and even though most of the missionaries had no idea what he was doing they started laughing but it was really funny to me!
We made it home just on time to leave for piano lessons for the returned missionaries. We had a new sister today. She is a sweetheart. We decided she could teach me Spanish and I could teach her English. Interesting enough her name is Kathyrn but everyone calls her Kathy. It's difficult when we have a new student every week who is behind the others. But it is great to work with these young men and women.
Spanish after music - in the same room - so we left the keyboard up and Scott played prelude for the Spanish class. Just what we needed! Class is getting better though because I am understanding so much more. Have a new word HAZLO - which means Just Do It!
Made it to the 6:00 pm session. Lots of women in this session. It is fun to watch them and see how aware they are of the people around them. Many of the women here carry big loads with the responsibility of providing and caring for a family that the husband has ran out on. I hope they are all loved and happy...We wonder what they must think of us - if they resent us being in their country. Everyone is very friendly so we hope they feel we are only here to help.
