Just for the record, here is a little chronology of the last few days: Saturday Elder Hurst and I taught a third lesson to Estrela’s parents and sister. That was difficult. The same evening at MIA the branch gathered in farewell to my companion, Elder Slade. The next day, fast Sunday, saw nothing special happening in the meetings. I played the organ for all three meetings. The singing was better this week. Attendance was up a little too (some 40 or so). The investigator family of the other two elders was out for the first time and seemed to enjoy the meetings. Elder Slade said it felt good not to be running the show. I think the branch will be in good hands under Sandri’s leadership, if the branch will help him. Sunday afternoon we went to Joaquim’s home to give a fourth lesson. We left without giving it because they had not digested all they had been presented. Elder Slade laid it on the line, challenging them to be in church next Sunday, quit drinking coffee, read at least 15 minutes daily from the Book of Mormon, and to pray.
Yesterday we spent the day in Rio, returning last evening for a special home evening honoring Elder Slade. We spoke with President Johnson and visited Corcovado. It was my first time up there, but it was cloudy.
