So today on our way home:
We were stopped by a cattle drive! Remind you of anything?? Almost all of these animals had thick ropes around their necks that dragged behind them for at least 15 ft. Guess that's one way to control your cattle!
Spent the morning at the Institute teaching and carrying instruments in and out. The students are great to help carry them out though. This class is moving from the finger numbering exercises to the names and locations of the keys and they think it's just impossible for them to learn. How funny for college students! It just takes time and work - which I don't think they were planning on......Watching them interact with each other is a hoot because they are so dramatic. The Institute's missing keyboard has never showed up but they don't seem concerned.
Today was our first keyboard class in Los Llanos. We teach them how to set them up and take them down at the end of class
The power went off after an hour so they couldn't hear what they were playing. We ended a little early:
Class leaving - I wanted to get the churchyard in the picture because it looks worse than any church yard I have ever seen. No one seems to mind though. As I was taking some things out to the car two of the boys followed me out carrying keyboards and our bag. When we got to the car they just continued walking down the road. Finally I realized they still had the keyboards so yelled at them to come back. They thought it was so funny but they did want to take the keyboards home with them. Here are the thieves:
Look pretty harmless don't they!
We arrived home safely another day. What a tremendous blessing that is here! Scott was just telling me that in the newspaper it said this country is 2nd out of 182 countries in highway deaths. If you had ever driven here that would not be a surprise.
We have had no time to get to the temple so tomorrow morning we are going to try again. We thought we could go yesterday but just as we were getting ready to leave our landlord lady's sister came to visit. She came a week or so ago and left us a big box of fruit and vegetables. We told her we would be leaving in August and she couldn't believe we were leaving and thought for sure we must be coming back. I think she was actually sad to think we would be gone - or sad to think they probably wouldn't get anyone else to rent this apartment (that's more like it).
