Sunday evening we had the opportunity to meet two brethren visiting from Salt Lake City: Brother Grant Burbege, head of the translation department; and Eduardo Baldeiras, from the distribution center. This second man spoke in sacrament meeting, in Spanish, delivering an outstanding message about the importance and responsibilities of the home. He spoke with authority, and the Spirit was with him.
Early Monday morning the four elders in the Headquarters District joined the six in the Jardim Botânico District for a game of beach football. We played for two and a half hours. Lonely beaches are beautiful early in the day. The ocean is always a fascinating place. Of course, those of us who have not played football for a long time are a little stiff today.
Recent weeks have brought me letters from some of the great men that call me friend: Elder Jeff Boswell in Samoa, Elder Evan A. Ballard in West Spanish America (California), and Elder Steven J. Hill in South Germany. Using a carbon, I answered them all with the same letter, sending a copy to Elder David LeSueur in Franco-Belgian also.
