What a night! The day started calmly with a trip to the temple. Lots of new missionaries today. Sister Freestone came back to talk to me in the chapel and when I said the elders looked so young she said that she had looked at their papers and some had put their papers in when they were just 17. She feels that their youth has not inhibited their performance here at all. There are not too many more times for us to attend the temple here but we will have more time this next week when all of the recitals are over.
Tonight was a practice for Santo Domingo. There are 16 students who are planning on playing so it may be fairly long. Especially since Pres. Olivera will be there and speak. It was almost impossible to keep the younger kids from running around and disrupting everyone. One of the adult women who has taken the class has two boys in the class and a young daughter who really wanted to take it but didn't. Well she, the young girl, has come to the last four classes and has decided she is going to play in the recital. She is such an ADHD kid that you'd just like to tie her hands and feet together so she would be still for two minutes at a time! We'll see how that goes on Sunday.
I spent the afternoon making Joe's favorite cupcakes for the recital participants tomorrow night at Canastica. For some reason the filling does not go to the bottom like it does at home but at least this time they are edible. You can't leave them uncovered because they get all damp and mushy. It will be odd to have things dry out when you leave them out. Even though Scott would like to stay and work longer with some of these students he agrees that it is time to go home. Tomorrow night will be tough because San Cristobal is like family to us. I am at the point of just wanting to get the painful goodbyes over.
