For an activity for our 12 missionaries on P-day, we arranged to take them all to the park and do some exercise.  First we did some aerobics, then some spot exercises, and last, but not least, some basketball.  We had a great time and wore everyone completely out----including me!


This is our group entering the park for our activity.

There is a gym in the middle of this park, and that is where we had our aerobics class.

Then we moved outside for some more exercises with a trainer we call Terrence Torture.

Completely exhausted, we headed to the basketball court for some good old American basketball.  I think we could have used some good coaching , especially the girls!  (Brooke, what are you doing in your spare time?)  They had a lot of trouble with the concept of dribbling when you are running with the ball!

Another really fun activity that just happened was Burundi's first piano recital!!  At least the first in the Church branches here.  Elder Van Wagoner has started giving piano lessons to several of the branch members.  The Church has about half a dozen of the electric keyboards that he has been using for the lessons.  This is such a blessing for the branches because they will finally have someone to play the music for Sacrament meetings and baptismal services.  What a great gift to leave the branches in Bujumbura!  Anyway, these aspiring pianists just performed their first recital at branch 2.  I was excited to see their progress!!
