What a nice day it has been! Steve Spencer of Felt and Spencer Physical Therapy is here doing a volunteer program. Their clinic gave many free hours of service to my volleyball playing daughters. He has been to our Family Home Evening and we have met him a few other places so Scott thinking of William,s little handicapped Katy called and asked if he would just look at her and give them some excercises or something they could do at home because they have no money to take her to physical therapy. So we picked up the kids - only four this time - and went to church in the Tres Brasos Ward.
As we drove them back home Carlos, a cousin, told us he wanted to be baptized and how did he go about that. So Scott tells him he first has to have a testimony of the truthfulness of the church. He said that he did and that it just makes him feel so good to be there. You could have knocked us over with a feather! Scott told him he would get ahold of the missionaries. So in church Eliana was sitting on my lap during the closing prayer. I was trying to teach her the things you do when someone is praying so when I heard the word "amen" during the closing prayer I said, very loudly, AMEN.
When I opened my eyes I see all of the rows of people around us looking at me- then I realized the prayer was still going on. So perhaps my hearing is going along with my mind...
We will always love this family. They have allowed us to be part of their lives and shared their children with us.
Our auditorium at Oriental where we teach was all set up when we got there. That is always a pleasant surprise. There are 12 tables with two keyboards on each table. This is the stake that bought ten keyboards for their people to use so we had enough. We had three of our past students helping so it worked very well. Except for the time this loud music kept playing and I was walking past each of the tables to see what was going on - then one of the English speaking girls said, "I think that music is coming from you" and sure enough in my skirt pocket I had Scott's phone on which the ring has been changed on. I'm sure they all think I am loony and they are right! The stake president in this stake has been phenomenal help with this music program and was delighted when he came in and saw the graduating class helping teach the other kids. Anyway, it was a happy day for us...

We picked up William and Olgalydia and Katy to come back to the city to take her to Mahon's apartment to see Spencer. Scott let me off so I could get some dinner ready for them. They all came back thrilled at the information he had given them. Things they could do at home with her to strengthen her leg and arm. It was wonderful to have them here with us.
