This evening I participated in my first fifth lesson since being here in Brazil. Last Thursday, on the eve before my four-month mark, was my first fourth lesson. Tonight William and his family accepted really well the lesson on the plan of salvation and the law of eternal progression and also concerning the restriction on the priesthood. He said he would be baptized Saturday but did not seem to think he was ready to accept the responsibilities of activity required in the kingdom of God.
Sunday the members of the Church in the states of Guanabara and Rio de Janeiro met together in quarterly district conference in the Tijuca chapel. Both the priesthood session and the general session that followed were outstanding experiences. District and mission leaders spoke. The Jardim Botânico choir provided the special music, including a fantastic rendition of “Eu sei que vive meu Sehnor” [“I Know That My Redeemer Lives”]. It was particularly good to see and speak with members from Petrópolis again. We had three investigator families marked to attend, but only Victor's wife showed up. She left home at 9:30 and arrived at the chapel at 11:00 for the second half of the session because the taxi could not find the right street.
