Thursday afternoon I received fresh from the States a new companion, Elder Alan Hatch from southern Arizona. Two other elders are new to the district also, making eight of us for right now. Elder William Smith, who transferred from Vitória, and his brand new companion from the States, Elder Doug Neiswender, will be living and working in Penha. Receiving new elders, especially a new companion, is quite exciting.
That same evening I brought the elders back to Ramos and showed them around a little bit and took them to Bob's to eat. The four of us slept at our place on Rua Tupí because the furniture for Elders Smith and Neiswender came Friday morning.
Friday morning Elder Hatch and I traveled up to Hospital Silvestre to have my toe checked out and bandage changed. As far as I can tell, I am recovered from my bronchitis. It takes a lot to keep a good man down for long.
Elder Hatch arrived knowing two lessons rather shakily. He has the desire to be a good and dedicated missionary. My challenge is to help him along to the best of my abilities, loving him, being a friend, inspiring him, helping him with the language, showing him the right methods and attitudes.
