It's a cool night - no air conditioning needed! Very nice to have it cool down a bit at night. I am already dreading those hot days of spring and summer with sweat running down your neck and back. What is amazing is that these dark skinned people rarely sweat. Maybe they are just used to the heat!
I had time to do laundry and study Spanish today along with our other daily studies. It will be nice to have a washer that washes by itself and actually cleans clothes and a dryer that dries them when we get home. I should never complain after seeing how AltaGracie and Oglidia have to scrub their clothes in a bucket one by one on the only day of the week they have water and lay them over whatever they can find outside to dry. The kids are always amazingly clean....
We had a class at the Santo Domingo Stake center tonight. We started it last week with 12 last week and tonight had 10 more. Have got some pictures:
Poor girl - Scott drew that beautiful pentagram and she was supposed to do two measures of notes that were 3/4 time.
These are some of the youngest students who were trying to clap out the rhythm of the song.
When we got to class they brought in 30 workbooks that they had printed off and bound. How amazing! It will help their stake so much to have the books to work with. President Olivero was out playing ball with a bunch of boys but came in 1/2 and hour later in his white shirt and tie to make sure everything was going ok. He is the guy in the white shirt standing in the picture of the group. Mr. Cool actually was much more likeable today as he brought a cute young boy with him and helped him throughout the lesson. The boy isn't in the picture and that is too bad because he was all the same color - brown/yellow hair, eyes, skin, shirt and pants. Have never seen anyone blend so well! The lesson was going great until everything got quite (I was sitting at the keyboard working on the role). I looked up and everyone, including Scott was looking at me expectantly. Guess he had said I would play a song for them and I hadn't heard. These people are so polite they don't even laugh when you do something stupid. (At least until they get to know you)
