At the end of the day, and it has been a long one, I am ready for bed! We left this morning around 9:00am for our 10:00 lesson at La Caleta. We got stuck in bad traffic and so were a little late getting there and all but two of the students were there waiting. You just never expect anyone to be early or on time here.
It was a practice lesson for the recital and boy, do they ever have a long way to go! When they have no way to practice, and don't practice if they do, it makes for slow learning. We were late getting away so by the time we got to Los Molinos the students were waiting for us there. This group is one that makes teaching worthwhile. There are six of them and they are all ready for the recital. One of the little girls can play almost anything. It's a good thing they are ready because they moved their recital up to this coming Wednesday. That doesn't give me much time to type up everything and have the rest of the things ready but it will be good to have one of the recitals over.
When we arrived at Hainamosa at 4:30 pm the gate was open but there was no power. It was 87 degrees in the room - felt like a sauna. Nothing zaps your energy like that kind of heat in a closed room. We waited for half and hour then the RS president came and told us that someone would be there in another half an hour to turn on the power. While we were waiting in the car, to tired to get out and go in, one of the young girls that had started the class came over to the car with a big smile on her face. She had brought me a beautiful flower and four pages of drawings she had done for me. What a sweetie! Anyway we finally got started and it was miserable until someone came and turned on the air conditioner. Finished the lesson and stopped at Bravo to shop on the way home. When we got to our door there was this weird looking mask hanging on the doorknob. Later found out that Yturrales picked it up in the parking lot and put it on our door. Sure was glad to find out it was them.
The day ended on a great note though when Joe and Hannah called to say they are going to be sealed in the Brigham Temple soon after we get home.
