November 6

Woke up with a horrid sore throat.  Decided to stay away from the service center.  Because we have lollies (wrapped hard candies) in a dish on our desk, we see lots of our fellow workers every day.  Did not want to pass this around.  Was grateful for the books sent to us by Brandon Larsen, because they provided me with something to read and stave off the boredom.   I am reading Gerald Lund's historical novel "Undaunted".  It is about the Hole in the Rock Expedition of Saints who traveled from the Cedar City area to the Montezuma Creek/Bluff area of Southern Utah.  I like the way he writes.  It has been a good read.

I did teach my piano class today although I probably should not have.  Because the stake was advancing 25-26 men in the priesthood, I told President Seru that we would vacate the institute building.  Darling man said he was fine doing the ordinations in the institute kitchen and out on the front porch.  Not on my watch!  So we had individual lessons at our flat which was such a blessing.  Working with one student at a time gets so much more done.  I could see what they knew and did not know and then we could address it.   I am thinking that once a month we will have individual lessons.

Isn't it amazing that when one does the right thing blessings come. I would never have done individual lessons unless I had honored the priesthood enough to give up our classroom.  One never gets ahead of the Lord.
