Scott spent the night walking the floor and trying to sleep. We need to find some antihistamine. I am pretty sure we won't find any. He is at home trying to sleep. I am praying he gets better soon, and that I will not get this. There is no time to be sick.
Got up this morning at 6:15 and practiced the piano. I am so rusty. I was looking for an easy hymn to assign the keyboard students on Tuesday. All four of them reported yesterday that they had been practicing. Timoci (Timothy) said he has practiced all the way to the next song in the student manual. He is particularly motivated as he leaves for a mission in Canada the end of November. He wants to be able to play all the simplified hymns by then. I am considering having him come for an extra lesson once a week.
Speaking of Timoci. Tuesday night it was raining hard when we finished piano class. Since our students were carrying their keyboards home, we decided to take them so the keyboards would be protected from the rain. Timoci and his sister Elenoa come to both classes on Thursday, and Timoci also comes on Tuesday for piano. We drove Timoci to a bus stop about two miles from the institute and dropped him off. Because Scott had taken him home once before, he knew where to go and where to stop. After Timoci got out, he walked through the bus stop to a path that went into dense foliage. I ask Scott where Timoci's house was and his reply was "about six blocks along that path." I wondered out loud why we were not taking him to his house. "There is no road into his house. This is as close as we can get." was Scott's reply. Two miles + six blocks. It takes commitment to walk that several times a week. They never miss. And they do it on Sunday as their ward house is behind the institute.
I wonder how many of our USA young adults are committed enough to make that journey for an institute class. I wonder if I would be.
