Finally home for the night! We had an early morning meeting with Pres. Anderson. I was so afraid he was going to tell us since the music program was going so well we should stay a little longer. He hadn't even realized we would be leaving the end of August. So he has this idea that we should set up an area wide choir concert type thing that involves all of the stakes in the Caribbean. "Events" are very important here. You know how good Scott and I are at "events" - not at all!
So he wants us to find committee members from all over and get them together and see what we could come up with - organize, etc. He wants this to be a Christmas thing. The great thing was we aren't going to be here..... When we told him that he was aghast. "Why you just got here, you can't be going home already!" Then asked us if we knew anyone who could come and take our place. So if you know of anyone let us know. He asked about my brother Brent. He asked me if Brent spoke Spanish - don't think so but will ask him. So anyway, we have lots of work to do besides the lots of work we are doing....
Got home and had lunch before leaving for our Institute music class. I wish there were some magic way to get these tecladas up the stairs and into the room without having to carry them. It does get tiring carrying them in and out of buildings. We have been so careful to keep them in the bags and the boxes they came in to protect them but these boxes are wearing out.
Right after Institute we drove to the Santo Domingo ward for our second class there. We had to divide the class because it was so big. As it turns out we should have about 14 in each class. One of the women came in with her daughter about an hour late - her car had stopped on her. She does speak some English so that is refreshing for me. Scott is pooped but he never complains.
We received some letters from the young women and young women leaders in our ward. It was so nice to hear from them. We really appreciated them taking the time to write and send letters to us!
