Still Whirling QB's Version!

Well, to say we have been busy, would be an understatement. Today was our second day of Early Morning Seminary in our nearest branch of Kolonia. There are about 20 students who meet at the local High School. One of the school teachers allows us to use her classroom. We have a metal cupboard to store our books and supplies. The kids are great. Don't know all their names yet but will slowly get them matched up with their faces.

Last Sunday we visited three of the outer branches. Some very small. Many women and children, few priesthood men. Beautiful spirit! All want to shake our hands. We'll be going to all of them each week to teach either English, Seminary or Institute. There are still two other branches we will be participating with in the same way. The only day not scheduled for any thing other than early morning seminary will be Monday. "P" day for all the elders and sisters, so guess it will be ours as well. What a schedule.

These people are very social. It's a friendly and social island. You would love that the branch and district presidents are barefoot conducting sacrament meeting. The deacons usually wear a printed tee shirt of various colors under their "white shirt" so they can strip after sacrament meeting.

I got my hair colored and cut by a little lady (Philapine) today. It looks pretty good. We'll get pictures of her shop and the process next time. She has no product to put in the hair after shampoo and conditioner. My hair is so flat right now, it's scary. But I think she did an okay job considering what she had to work with.

One of the neatest things to happen was Sunday after we returned. One of the young men who has graduated from high school came over and asked if I would home teach him seminary. He admitted that when he was younger he didn't pay enough attention, and now he wants to learn more and get ready to serve a mission. It was so touching. We are going to have him over a couple of nights a week to teach and help him get ready. We also told him he needs to go to institute and we'll help him understand. His father is one of the branch presidents, serving his fourth time in that calling. The branches just don't have enough priesthood to become a ward.

Jungle Boy is feverishly writing some other things that happened so I can include them.
