Here is the normal Saturday night around here:
Today started with church at the Piantini Ward. Got home and got supplies, keyboard, books, papers, pencils, etc ready to take to our Oriental Stake lesson. I'm putting some pictures on of these kids and adults because we just love them. Most of them are doing well - it's the teachers that you have to wonder about!
Right after the Oriental Stake we had a meeting with the Hinamosa Stake. We got there and the stake music director took us to the room. Roughly five or six people followed us in. Then one by one or two by two they started into the room and they just kept coming! There were 35 students in the class by the time we ended. I'm not sure how that is going to work but they are so excited to learn.. Surely some of them will drop out. Either that or we will have to find more help! The most wonderful thing happened - we had seen these two little baby boys when we came in the building. I have no idea who the mother was but one of the women who was older had a diaper bag for them but the babies were just being passed from person to person. Guess what?? She came over by me and I got to hold one of the babies!!! It was heaven to cuddle a little baby again.. They were twins and as cute as can be. And to think that we will see them every Saturday night is great. The members of the stake wanted their lessons on Saturday night from 5:00 - 7:00pm. It will take all week to figure out just how to teach that many people at one time..
Our friends here think we don't know how to play - relax. That may be true. Tomorrow we are going to the National Palace for a tour.
It looks quite - but looks are decieving!
The top picture is the new bar - on the bottom- and the card playing women on the top. Many business buildings have housing on the top level. The guys playing dominoes, with the click click click, in front of the store are usually gone by 11:00 pm but the bar people are there well past midnight. If they are inside it is ok but when they come out they sound like a New Years Eve party every night. You can be sound asleep and all of a sudden hear a shriek and shrill laughter that goes on and on. And to think we thought it was getting noisy on the ranch when cars went by the house.
