We didn't know if we were ready for another recital or not but we had one anyway! We got there and hour before it was to start when all of the kids and grandma were supposed to be there. Well of course no one was there but Grandma did come a few minutes later. We set up the chairs and got the table and keyboard ready for them to play. Plus we sat some keyboards up in the back for them to practice before people started arriving. We were surprised to see the stake music chairman and the high counselor that
we had worked with in the beginning.
we had worked with in the beginning.
This is such a talented group of kids. I know they were very impressed. Brother Gonzalez, stake presidency member, told about how they had discussed in their stake meeting how much they needed help with their music program. We were just randomly calling the few music directors there were in the area to see if we could help them and got hold of Brother Venutura that very week. They just knew it was an answer to their prayers. It would have been a shame for these kids not to have had the opportunity to learn to play because they have done so well and will be able to help their wards for many years to come. We had a prayer meeting and told them that we wouldn't be back and how much we loved and appreciated them. We were all close to tears. Scott and I had discussed this earlier and when I told him I was working on some ways to help me keep my composer because I am such a baby he said he didn't even plan on controlling his emotions. Now does that sound like Scott??? He did well though. The boys here have much closer relationships with their mothers and are much more vocal about how they feel emotionally than most boys at home are. What a privilege it has been
to work with this group.
