Washing machine and Church calling

The big task of the day was to get the washing machine fixed. this is the type of thing that when you know the language it takes an hour or two but when you don't it's an all day thing. We have never seen this type of machine; we don't know how to take it apart, and we don't know where to get parts once we find a broken one. It did take all day but it did get done. The kids had a youth activity at church. Weston and I rode our bikes from the apartment and Madison walked from her home. We got there ok, Madison did not. After a few phone calls we found each other and I showed her the way. She almost made it but started feeling unsure, which made her make some wrong turns.

The youth went out for ice cream without any adults. I like this program. Just think how easy it would be to be a youth leader if you didn't have to go on the activities. But than again going to ice cream with the youth is easy also.

The branch President called me to teach priesthood 3 weeks per month. He knows about as much english as I know Spanish. We spent most of the time laughing at ourselves but a sister who knows english came in and helped. There is a new convert from Nigeria (see earlier blog) He feels that the new convert will be better taught in English. I am going to try to make that thought true.
