It is Father's Day here. We can only hope that some of these fathers will be better fathers to their children than their fathers have been to them. Scott gave our guards a five minute talk yesterday on how important fathers are in the lives of their children and how they can help change society here by being good husbands and fathers. They probably think we are crazy! We love them though and would love to see them find the happiness we have found through living the gospel. (Or at least trying to!) Sister Low talked in Sacrament meeting and had written her talk in Spanish so she read it all. It was great because I understood most of it. Sitting in meetings trying to sort out words and what they mean gives me a headache every week. It is slowly getting easier - very slowly it seems to me.
Traveled to Oriental Stake to do their music lesson. They had all chosen a favorite song they wanted to lead. Great for them but for me as the piano player it wasn't so great! As a whole they sang well but obviously have not been singing with a piano or a chorister who knows how to conduct. We would start a song and they would be half way through the song before the third measure. Scott would stop and make them listen to the music and watch the director. That was probably more beneficial to them than learning how to lead. It helped us to realize that these lessons are a great way to help them with their singing at the same time they are learning other things.
I am always fearful we will have some kind of car trouble on these roads but I do believe we are protected in our travels. Talked to Eli today and they made it home safe. She said the girls were much better this time. I'm so glad they were able to spend some time at home and give some life back to our house.
Someone just rang from downstairs and said they wanted to come up and heat up their food. It makes me nervous because Scott lets any and every one in.
