Unfortunately, a great amount of time has passed by so quickly that I have been unable to record any of my activities and thoughts here for nearly two weeks. Just a few highlights:
A week ago yesterday, March 21, was a zone conference of the Rio I Zone, conducted by Elder Joseph Smoot, zone leader, and presided over by President Johnson. Both the President and Sister Johnson spoke in the afternoon session. Elder Stewart and I had the music. As always, the afternoon testimony meeting highlighted the day's activities.
Lately Elder Stewart and I have been spending all day in the mission office training into our new jobs (rather than just the afternoons). Elders McFarland and Walters will be leaving in a few days, and the responsibilities will be fully upon our shoulders.
About a week and a half ago we met some members of the MIA and Deseret Sunday School Union general boards that were here visiting: One of them was G. Carlos Smith of the Young Men's Mutual Improvement Association. He serves as general superintendent of that organization. A Brother Vernon Sharp, of the Sunday School, was one of the first missionaries in South America some 40 years ago. He came down with Apostle Melvin J. Ballard when the mission was opened.
