Yesterday we missed considerable amounts of time in the classroom. Leadership meeting cut short retention by 20 minutes and eliminated an hour of class. Because it ran late, we lost another half hour of class in the afternoon. Elder Ostergar met with us in the afternoon to assign new districts and again during retention for 45 minutes to further instruct the new missionaries. Moving into new quarters was limited to the sports hour just before dinner, preventing any physical activity there.
A letter came yesterday from Jerry. All seems to be well on the home front. Cheryl is back from Germany already, although he said nothing about Kimberley.
The daily schedule begins at 6:00 A.M. sharp. Zone meeting at 6:40 prefaces breakfast. Classroom work begins at 8:00 and continues until 10:00. Retention in the chapel takes an hour at 10:00, followed by another hour in class. At 1:00 P.M. class resumes, ending at 3:50, fol-lowed by proselyting class for an hour. Gym takes from 5:00 to 6:00. Retention begins again at 7:00 and ends at 10:00. Lights are out at 10:30. That is the skeleton around which the day is built.
Tonight during retention, while we were in conversation with a native Brazilian, some visitors dropped into our room for a few moments. We later found out they were stake and ward leaders from the São Paulo Stake up for general conference. This is Brazil’s only organized stake.
