Walls (rock on rock): Will our work be as enduring?

 We had several students from Concepcion that didn't quite have enough songs learned to earn their pianos.  We said you have two months to earn them; we'll be back to test you.  Today, two of them got tested (one for the second time) and both passed.  High 5's from all sides.
Here I am doing math homework with Henry.  He earned his piano a couple of months ago and Janell was giving the test to Karyn at his house.  Anita has passed earlier (we get an early day home and Janell likes to fill them).  At any rate, I can still do equations with numbers to various powers.  Sister Garcia said I should come back once a week to help -- she would provide Popsicles.

Here we are at the home of the Boquette branch president.  He and his wife are students as well as two boys from the neighborhood.  I think he takes them to church each week as well.  Nice young men, but they were having trouble learning to direct.  Their house has no running water or electricity.  They smell of smoke, but not tobacco;)  They are having a little trouble learning the chords,  melodies and reading music, but are friendly and nice.
Last week when I gave the branch president his assignment for weekly practice, he said OK I will practice it this week.  I said, NO! EVERY DAY.  Oh...
Well, he did practice better, so he and his wife are now doing fine.  Playing their first hymn both hands.

 On our way up into the mountains (towards Volcan Baru -- highest point in Panama).  We have a number of fields with rocks all over them -- on the other side Volcan, there are fields of rocks also, but also deep fertile soil fields.
We talked to a rancher and he said the walls were there since he was born -- 73 years ago.  It is hard to show the effort that must have gone into them.  Rocks, of course, are heavy and they are just placed in the wall, no mortar.  Lot of work just so the cows can eat and not go wandering.

 Some big rocks would seem harder to move.

There are also piles of rocks in the middle of the field -- different method needed to clear the land.
