Today we had the recordings of the April 1968 general conference of the Church playing while we worked in the mission office. Such a fantastic spirit emanates from the conferences of the Latter-day Saints. The music and spoken words from the Saturday morning session of that conference brought back special remembrances and heart warmths. During those days I was visiting in Elgin, Illinois, in the Walter Rabe home, in the turbulent days following Martin Luther King’s death. This session, I remember so clearly, was released Sunday morning throughout the middle and eastern United States. I sensed then, and felt again today, that the clear and sure call of heaven-inspired prophet leaders was sounding to a troubled nation, a fevered world.
My brother Ray celebrates his 24th birthday today. A great many months have passed since I last heard from him. I sent greetings last Monday.
President Johnson and his family, along with Elder Richins, drove to Nova Friburgo early today to make visits there.
Last night Elders Stewart and Nielson taught a fourth discussion to Marcos and Maria Yolanda. Lillian also attends each of the lessons.
