Don't know why but it has seemed like Sunday all day - Sunday never seems like Sunday. It should remind me of the days at home that I spent in meetings for most of the day - but never spent a twelve hour day doing church work every Sunday. We are grateful to have work to do and have people to teach so it's all good.
Have more work to do on the web site. I think Sister Johnson is going to do a great job - if I get the information and pictures she needs to her. Have to set up some situations she wants pictures of.
This Institute class today started at 3:10 with around 10 people there. By the time class ended we had over 20 people there with four new ones again. Scott keeps telling the Institute Director that we can't teach this many because we do not have tecladas for everyone but they just keep coming. As I am sitting behind the piano watching what goes on, I wish I could take pictures. One of the guys came in a levi jacket and cowboy boots - mind you it was well over 80 degrees. Then there is this couple that obviously has a relationship out of class because he slumps over and puts his head on her shoulder for most of the class time. She looks a bit disgusted and tries to move him. It is hilarious! The "sleepy" guy that never can stay awake made it to the end of class because Scott called on him to demonstrate 3/4 time. I would like to know if he works nights or has a sleeping sickness! Towards the middle of the class the door opens and in comes this girl with clown red hair, short and fuzzy. That is a fairly normal color here for the older women but I haven't seen a young girl with hair that color. She was one of the new students and stayed after to talk to us. She really is a cute girl. One of the girls led the first song and never sang one of the notes right. Of course everyone follows her and I finally stopped playing because I had no idea where they were or if they were singing the song I was playing. Scott just kept singing with them and finally I recognized the chorus so picked back up playing. It's one of those things you would have to hear to believe! My playing today wasn't great anyway - of course it never is great.....but I am getting better. If there is one thing we have learned from this mission it is to roll with the punches because you never know what the next hour holds.
These girls were all leading the same song - at least two of them were together - kind of!
Scott was going to go to a couple of sessions at the temple while I cooked and studied but we didn't get out of the Institute soon enough so he just got one session done. It is a great thing for him to do while I do computer work and study Spanish. When he got home Yturraldes came down with dessert again. What fun neighbors and good friends they have become!
