September 13

Woke this morning to rain.  A real gully washer.  I love to listen to the waxing and waning of it.  Our roof is tin as is the neighboring house which makes the rain even louder.  When I finally got out of bed, I checked the sky out our bedroom window and it was semi bright; there was the sun on the horizon.  I had not noticed until today that the birds here sing when it is raining.  I can not remember birds singing in Utah during a rain storm.  Do they?  I actually crawled back into bed and just laid there listening.  It was almost as soothing as listening to the surf.  It's going to be a great day.

Tonight I judged the ward music festival.  Bishop told us that it would start at 4:30p.m. Knowing about Fiji time we arrived at the chapel at 5:00.  No one was there but the Rakatias.  We sat around until 5:20 and then asked Vika Rakatia to call us when the festival got started.  We went home to eat.  We did not notice the time until about 6:15.  Oops.  We threw on our shoes and hussled back to the church.  By the time we got there the primary had song all but one of their assigned songs.  Each organization presented a solo, a duet, a trio, a quartet, and a choir number.  My assignment was to choose the best musical number for each category.

It was a great evening.
