Yesterday afternoon the four elders in the district saw the movie Romeo and Juliet. The production was superbly done: costuming was magnificent, acting marvelous, the original Shakespearean language preserved in its flowering greatness, the music masterful, the filming well done. It made me proud to have English as my mother tongue.
Upon returning from the show, we held our weekly district meeting. The singing is pretty bad still. Elder Stewart explained our new program and the decision followed to make 60 contacts per week our minimum goal rather than the present 30. The other two elders will come to our place each morning for breakfast before we all leave to contact. For instance, the four of us went to the downtown area this morning. Generally we will stick to our own area.
A few days ago a letter came from Dean Slade, my first companion here in Brazil. He mentioned in passing that he would be marrying a Jewish girl August 28. It will be a civil ceremony because she is the only one in her family belonging to the Church. The day following they will be sealed in the St. George Temple. She is already learning Portuguese, he reported.
