PICTURES FROM PIANO LESSONS


Pictures are of the piano lessons being given by Sister Renea Lewis of Colorado. She and her husband served their first mission in Kenya. They were asked to return to the PEF program and were serving as the PEF couple in the Area Office when Elder Lewis was called to be the Secretary to the Area Presidency. His call made it necessary for the Lord to call a new PEF Area Office Couple. Enter Elder and Sister Webb.

Serving in the Area Office allows the missionaries time on the weekends to find other areas of need. The music program is one such need and the S.A. saints are desirous to improve their circumstances in any way they can.
Developing their gifts is one of the ways the Lord provides an answer to their prayers.















The young man in the pick hat is very talented. He has picked up the mathematics of music extremely fast. It's as if he were born playing the piano. He has been taking lessons for 6 weeks and is already playing from the easy hymn book. He is a very serious student. He is 14.





You might be able to tell the room is cold like most of the churches we attend. This group was lucky to be meeting in a clean church building with actual tables and chairs one which they can set the key boards.




















The ages of students in this class are from 10 to 18.




The two fellows in the back right are sharing a key board. One student works from a paper key board the other on the instrument. They trade the instrument back and forth by week. There are several students who do the same thing.




The four students in the corner front and back could start up their on musical group. They have fabulous voices and are naturally gifted. They have been creating songs with the key board and played them after class. They make an amazing sound.




Everywhere we turn we see the Lord blessing His children. He is answering their prayers in the most quiet and sometime unusal ways. We have know idea how great his vision is for us or for those with whom we serve. I close my eyes and see only a tiny glimps into his majestic reality. I am so thankful he has seen fit to allow us this view of His never ending love. He tells us what we can do to receive his blessings. When we listen and try to do what he has asked of us he always makes a way for us to accomplish the very thing we thought impossible or were afraid of doing. He knows the Beginning and the End He is Alpha and Omega.
