12/21/2012 Los Americas Stake visit

Studied  this morning and got things together to present to the Los Americas Stake the music program.  What was cool was they had just met a couple of Sundays ago and were worrying about what they could do to improve the music in their stake.  A day later we called their high councilor to see if they wanted us to come do some lessons.  He was so excited as he told us  that we were an answer to their prayers!  So were we.  We did get lost a couple of times on the way and the guy who had called us met us just past the toll booth where they charge you to leave the country.  (You can come in for free)  Anyway we would have been hours finding the place if he hadn't led us there!
So they want us to do two lessons in their Stake on Saturdays.  One in the stake center and the other miles away from there where we were today.  We will see how that goes since we have to be at Hainamosa by 5:00 and these places are all quite a ways apart.  It is always fun to meet more of these people.  And the most exciting thing - - - I could actually understand most of what the music director way saying because he talked slow enough for me to catch the words.  I can't even express how nice it is when you understand what someone is saying.
  We found our way home but got stuck in traffic so it took us quite a while.  We had a dinner appointment with the Ramishes and they were all ready to go by the time we got back.  They wanted to go down to the Hard Rock Cafe in the Colonial City - which is a very dangerous place at night for foreigners.  Talked them out of that and went to Adrian Tropical instead. You look out over the ocean so at night you can see the white caps on the waves roll in.It was a beautiful and refreshingly cool night.   The food was great!  They stay open all night and say their busiest hours are between 9:00pm and 12:00am but that people come in all night.  The amazing thing is you know some of these people get up and go to work in the morning but they love the night life here.
