One note for the record: On the evening of Sunday, September 21, I talked in the sacrament meeting of the Meier Branch. My topic was baptism, the third basic principle and first ordinance of the gospel.
Sunday evening we received by short-wave radio in New York a delayed broadcast of the first session of the semi-annual general conference of the Church meeting in Salt Lake City’s historic Tabernacle. The session was translated into Portuguese. Because of an electrical storm here in Rio, the reception during the first 45 minutes was poor. The remainder came through strong and clear. It was so good to hear again the great choir and organ and to be receiving the messages from the presiding Brethren. Irmão Antonio, whom we are now teaching, attended and enjoyed the proceedings.
This week Antonio received the third and fourth lessons, is well into the Book of Mormon, living the Word of Wisdom, and progressing. This afternoon he attended a baptismal service I conducted. Elder Staker baptized José Delfino Barbosa Filho this afternoon, a man who received the lessons from Elder Anderson. I confirmed him a member of the Church.
