Every Friday we are required to submit a weekly progress report, indicating the amount of individual study time beyond classroom work in both the scriptures and with the language. Also the amount or rate of our progress. One a 1-to-5 scale we indicate our effort in speaking the language during the week and what we intend to speak during the next week. To "speak five" is to make every effort to use all the vocabulary that we have learned. On the back of this report is a letter to President Wilkins2 about whatever we desire, including likes and dislikes, suggestions and comments.
The general conference of the Church convened this morning in Salt Lake City with President David O. McKay presiding and attending the morning session. Classes prevented our participation.
Tonight in retention we were shown two films, one narrated in English about Rio de Janeiro and a second in Portuguese about Uruguay. Before and between the films we heard various types of music associated with Brazil. This brief diversion was a welcome respite from studying. Since there is no proselyting class on Friday, Elder Rencher and I went to the bookstore, and I showed him around the campus somewhat. He attended Ricks College last year.
We learned a testimony about Joseph Smith today.
