It's been kind of a restful day..We studied, washed, and then the power went off again. They must think no one is home during the day so it doesn't matter if there is no power! It did give Scott some time to make some calls to stake music presidents. I have been gathering info from the other countries in this area to see what kinds of music programs they have or rather usually don't have. There are many very dedicated senior missionaries teaching in their areas. Hopefully these people won't have to rely on missionaries to play the piano for them for much longer. Our students have started playing the preludes and postludes and the accompaniment that is in their keyboarding books. We are so proud of them! The hymns are very simple and only play one hand at a time but they sound great.
The missionaries asked Scott to read with William during his lunch break because he isn't getting much reading done. As they were reading Scott realized that William can read but does not comprehend what he is reading. That was so helpful! Scott told him the stories after they read and William left excited because he finally understood what he has been reading. I think William stayed with his job here because he knows Scott would help him is he needed it. I just love that big smile of his and his "Katty" every time he sees me. I don't know how he found out what my name was because he calls Scott " Elder Rees". I wonder if he thinks that elder is Scott's first name! Anyway, he has a little daughter named Katty so it is easy for him to remember.
Danny, one of the workers here, asked Scott for some pain medicine for his headache today. Headaches for these people when they are out in the heat all day are very common. Scott told him when he came to fix out hallway light, he would give him some. Of course he gave him some but a little later William, Wilton, and Danny came and worked on the wiring and finally got the light fixed. It has been out for months and is a little unnerving to come up to the apartment and have the hallway dark and try to get the right key in the lock. They were pleased with themselves when they finished - all big smiles. Danny wants to come visit us when we go home, or so he keeps telling us.
We went to our normal 6:00 session at the temple tonight. I don't know what was going on but the traffic was backed up for a mile or so and the policemen on their motorcycles were walking through the traffic like they were looking for someone. Brother and Sister Lee, and the Cuenots were in our session with about four other people so it was quick. One of the women escorting her daughter looked so familiar but I couldn't remember from where. Later realized she is the mother of Massiel and Michelle, the twins in our Oriental class.
It was so nice to get off the elevator to a lit hallway!
