We seem to have reached a point in the missionary work where, although we are following the programs and things are not going really bad, nothing is happening. We are not finding the families ready to hear and accept the gospel. As Elder Stewart expressed it, "We seem to be about four days behind where we should be." For days I have been wondering where the problem lies. As I have been writing this, it came to me that I must approach the Lord and plead with integrity of heart and earnestness of soul for the people of this area ready to hear the Savior's voice. He knows His sheep and will call them, and ours is the charge to help if we will work as He directs.
Elder Richard Smoot, zone leader of the Rio Zone and Niterói district leader and great missionary, left for home today. I did not have a chance to say good-bye.
Tonight was another investigator fireside. We showed the film Man's Search for Happiness. Three investigators attended, none of which were ours.
