We must have been sent here to develop patience! There has to be one thing, at least, not working in our apartment at all times. The power has been on for the past two days but the internet has been off since last Thursday. I don't know how many times you can fix the same problem but it is many!
So much of this blog will be catching up. On Friday the Eickbushes called to see if we were going out with the group for supper. We decided to just come here and eat and maybe play games or something. Just as they were coming the Yturraldies dropped by so they stayed and ate with us. The only game we have is Phase 10 - which only when Scott thinks I am going to have a nervous breakdown trying to learn Spanish will he play. The Eickbushes are game players but the Yturraldies said they would stay for one round but they weren't card players. Well neither are we but a break is good. Elder Yturraldie must have been holding out on us because he won the first hand, the second hand, the third hand before he had to leave for a meeting. Anyway it was alot of fun
I'm beginning to feel like a music traveling van. Wish we had a van to keep these 10 keyboards, boxes of books, etc in. We went out to Hainamosa for the lesson this afternoon. After the choir left we ended up with about 10 students there so that is much easier to handle. We took the keyboards and set them up before the students came - you would have thought it was Christmas! One of the women was so excited throughout the lesson that all she could do was giggle. When she figured out how to play with one hand and numbered fingers the melody of a hymn she was estatic. It was just so much fun watching her! There is a set of twins in the Haniamosa Stake class and one in the Oriental Stake class.
The first two are quite a bit more reserved than these last two but they are all great kids!
Traveling to Hainamos is always interesting but today when we turned under the bridge on the small hill a man was coming down. His hair was long and in ringlets and he looked like he could have been a lamanite warrior or something. I was trying to decide if he had on brown clothes of just what when Scott and I both realized that what looked like a loin cloth, but was really just a narrow sash or something, and he was almost completely naked. Can't imagine where he came from or why he hadn't been picked up by the security guards that are everywhere.
On Sunday we went to the Ramana Ward where Olivert was playing the prelude and Sheryl was leading the singing. They did a great job. We are so proud of these kids! I really admire their willingness to contribute to their wards with what little they have learned.
The Ruckers had invited us for dinner on Sunday - that was so nice of them since we had such a busy day.
The Mahons were also there. It was delicious and the company was great!
We had to leave to get to our lesson in Oriental. All of the students were there and we didn't have enough tables so this is what Angel got to have for a table:
That's what I call desperation! Angel, who came late and ended up using the garbage can for a table, will likely be on time next week....
I have ran out of picture room so will start anew tomorrow if we have internet.
