Piano

Hermana Johnson has quite a little following of piano students in Choquehuanca. She has some simple lessons and simple hymns. In one or two lessons they can be playing a hymn. The chapel has a real piano so they can come here and practice. Liz Ccama has had two lessons and played a hymn clear through. Susan loves doing it and they love her so much. After they put the branch in a stake we really don't have any need to go there any more but me and my big mouth I told them we would try and come one day each month so they can continue with their lessons. So I guess Susan will keep cleaning the hotel room. They charge thirty soles we should get a discount. Oh by the way a Seventy is going to visit when they put them in a stake. Everybody can't believe a Seventy is actually coming to their town. We did put Choquehuanca into The JUliaca stake. I hope they get more help from them than they got from the mission. Ayaviri went into the Siquani stake.

Cleaning Hotel

So we went to Choquehuanca to watch conference last weekend. They haven't had the ability to watch it for some time and supposedly everything was fixed. Anyway the hotel we stay in is in Pucara and it is getting worse and worse. Sister Johnson has finally resorted to taking cleaning supplies and cleaning. I still wonder but there are only a few choices and they are worse. Anyway we thought it might be our last time because in three weeks we are going out to put them in a stake. They have decided to put them in the Juliaca stake and Ayaviri in Sicuani stake.
 When we got there Saturday the conference wasn't working and their internet and they had told the people to go to Ayaviri or Julica. Nobody was going to go. I have purchased a modem from bitel for my internet in the house and I always take it with me so I have internet wherever I go. Bitel has a good signal in Choquehuanca  so i hooked up my phone to the the TV and was able to stream conference in the chapel. I thought I was stupid for buying internet like that because it is kind of slow but now I realize why I have it. The people all came and were so happy to see conference. It really was a miracle. It is so hard to believe that the little branch there has four full time missionaries and another ready to send his papers. We can't even find a Branch president that will do his job.
