Sunday

We went to church this morning, and Susan was again asked to play the piano. Afterward, two of the girls in the ward, probably 10-11 years old, came up separately and asked if she would teach them piano lessons while we are here. She worries about whether she can manage to teach in Spanish, but I told her that since the girls are really motivated to learn, it will work out. She is scheduled to teach them at the same time this Tuesday evening. One problem will be that they don't have access to a piano except at church, so it will be difficult for them to practice.

Then this evening we went for another walk. We had a good rain this afternoon, one that covered a fairly large area, and had some bit of lightning and thunder in it. Thus, it was cool and pleasant for a walk around 5:30. Just before we left the apartment I was able to take this picture looking east and a little north. The sun was shining on the cathedral in the distance, with shadow in the foreground, and the dark clouds of the retreating storm in the background.
Otherwise, it was a quiet day. We cleaned up the remaining leftovers from the Christmas dinner, so we will need to go shopping again tomorrow.

On Christmas Eve, the folks across the street butchered a couple of small pigs and then cooked them in a big pot in their courtyard. Then today they got this pig, which is much larger than the first ones. We don't know for sure what is planned, but we suspect another celebration for New Years.
