In recognition of America's best and closest neighbor in the sisterhood of nations, including recognition of the home she gave a great number of the Saints, I pause to note and remember today as Dominion Day in Canada.
Elder Dorrell Henderson, our district leader, was transferred out of the Headquarters District today. He had been serving as mission secretary. Of the four of us in the mission office, Elder Henderson had been around the longest, since just after last Thanksgiving. He left this evening for Vitória.
This evening Elder Stewart and I taught a first lesson to a lady named Maria and her eight-year-old son. She is separated from her husband. They are prepared for the gospel. We contacted her while tracting the building in which she lived. Because of her initial interest Elder Stewart left a tract with her. When we returned, as so often happens, interest had waned. We did not push it upon learning of her marital situation. We left, inviting her out to the meetings. Sunday she came to Sunday School and was impressed with what she saw. Sunday evening we passed by and marked a visit. After the meeting she returned home and reread the pamphlet and was overwhelmed by how fantastic it was. She displayed a real hunger to learn of our message.
