This afternoon another street meeting was held, the second in Rio de Janeiro. We met in the Largo do Machado and there held the meeting for over two hours. We followed the same format as on the first meeting June 26. I was able to give the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith stories in English, which was actually difficult and unrefined because it was translation from Portuguese.
Tonight we taught a really sharp young couple who have been married four months. José is the man's name. A second lesson is marked for next week.
Sunday past we taught Victor and his children the fifth lesson. Last night, when we showed up for the sixth, we retaught the fifth to his wife Helena because he had not yet returned from work. Maria Yolanda attended the lesson Sunday and remained after we left to bring them to sacrament meeting. None of them showed up. We stopped to talk with Maria Yolanda following the meeting. She had just returned home from Victor's, having spent a couple hours there talking with them. It was probably just as good for them as the meetings may have been.
Elders Jerry Allen and Robert Cary returned to the States yesterday because of health: Elder Allen to Salt Lake for treatment and Elder Cary to the Florida Mission.
