Wednesday--English Class and Piano



On Wednesdays we go visiting in the mornings or get caught up on paperwork. At 3 p.m. Sister Spencer starts piano lessons. It is a joy to teach these young people about music and prepare them to conduct and accompany in Church.  Teaching piano was not on my list of talents, but I have learned so much and am grateful for resources that the Church provides. The Harman Foundation in Salt Lake makes it possible to provide a keyboard for promising young musicians so that they have a keyboard to practice with. The students need to be old enough and have the potential of playing in Church and teaching others.  The Foundation has placed many, many keyboards throughout the world. The last lesson ends at 7 p.m.

These six sisters/cousins all wanted to start learning piano. It is not ideal, but we make it work.

These three girls each play one song for Sacrament meeting. Their Branch President is preparing them for the future.

Another darling student. She isn't a member but has come to Church several times to hear the music.


At 5 p.m. English class starts. The missionaries teach and entertain mostly young people with a free English class.  We have seen great missionary work success with this program.

We learn a lot of English playing "Simon Says". The students love it! (Elder Spencer is the best!)


The Elders' clowning around is a big attraction. And they make their point.
The Elders use all of their talents!


We usually go out to dinner on Wednesdays, because it is a full afternoon.
