A busy Sunday began with picking up the kids for Church. Had three extra today- but the same three that came last week so that was nice. When we got home the mother of the two extra girls came down to meet me, Scott had already met her. She had such a soft, pretty look. I just find it so interesting that these people will send their kids off with people they don't know at all. We just hope and pray that sometime in their lifetimes they will remember going to church and want in their lives what they saw in ours. William has a new job far away. He also has an ulcer on his foot which has been very painful. I know how that is! He did say that this job will take him away from his family more. That certainly isn't what they need. Family life here is so different. Many couples are separated for years as one of them goes to a different place or a different country to work. Of course fidelity is not an issue here as they don't believe that is a necessary sacrifice. The church members here really have to change their lives and their values to be members.
Got back with fifteen minutes to spare for lunch before leaving for San Cristobal. It is always fun to go out there because this group is actually more like family than students. We really love them and appreciate the warmth and love they have shared with us. They are all beginning to play with both hands at the same time. How easy that sounds but how difficult it is when you are just learning!
When we got to Oriental all of the students were standing outside the gate. Once again we realized how many of them there are. We took Marie took get a key and by the time we got back someone had opened the gate for them. For such a big class they are doing well. Scott has been working with their recognizing the line and space notes. They seem to know them until you give them a written test. The high council man over the music came today. We thought he had given up because it is not easy for him. Part of the problem is that his fingers are twice as wide as the keys! So even with his finger tips he ends up playing more than one note.
We were home shortly after 7:00 pm. It was great to hear from the kids on Father's Day. Scott really appreciated it. I wonder if they will ever know just how much he loves them.
