Sister Thomas Gives Piano Lessons

We were out in Sada today helping the Bishop with some issues in the MLS System.  We worked together at the computer while Sister Thomas was cleaning in the kitchen.  At one point Sister Thomas brought in the kitchen rubbish bin and showed the bottom of it to the Bishop.  The Aaronic priesthood had been cleaning up the sacrament using the bin without a plastic bag in it and “stuff” had accumulated on the bottom of the bin. I knew we were all in trouble when she came in the door.  The Bishop and the Aaronic priesthood were busted.  Don’t worry this happens to me at home once in a while.  The Bishop agreed and said he would speak to the youth.

While working in the system I helped the Bishop find one member who was in the ward list but who’s family name was listed incorrectly.  It will be a joy to be able to tell her that, “she that was lost has been found”.  We also had to record some expenses which the Ward had spent during the month.

We got a call from the Elders in Queenstown asking for help because their bikes had broken.  We came home to help them and Elder Thomas went out to teach a lesson with Elders Shongwe and Lawson while Sister Thomas finished preparing for Piano lessons. 

Sister Thomas helps out with piano lessons.  You can see Siseko and Liyema being put through their lessons. This is going well and there is a group that really wants to learn how to play but without a key board at home it is not possible for them to advance when they only play at the church when Sister Thomas is watching them. 

They need to be able to practice once a day, just as everyone else has who has learned how to play the piano and suffered through those early morning practice sessions.

When we were done we went to look at the bike.  The chain had broken.  It does not happen very often but the chain is very worn from rubbing when it came off the gears and rubbed against the spokes.  The biking Elders will need to get it fixed first thing in the morning.
