Looking over the past week, Elder Slade and I agreed that we might well have been better organized. Several things distracted from our missionary labors, chief of which was Elder Slade's assignment to get the branch in shape to start running itself. The mid-week New Year's Eve and New Year's Day did not help matters any. And Elder Johnson's departure and Elder Craig Hurst's arrival (companions to Elder David Braithwaite) interrupted organization. Wednesday afternoon Elder Slade saved a marriage (Irmão Sandri and his wife). Friday night we went tracting and got lost, ending up in the other elders' district. Saturday morning was devoted to cleaning the grounds around the chapel. Another afternoon was spent at the prefeitura concerning the road and wall next to the church.
District leaders from Rio attended our meetings today. They took all of priesthood meeting time and a few minutes in Sunday School. There were 50 at Sunday School, a great improvement over last week. I played the organ in both Sunday School and testimony meeting, which followed. I also bore my testimony there.
