Last night following sacrament meeting we showed for the members living within our district a film of the October 1968 semi-annual general conference of the Church. The fireside worked quite well in animating those who were attending. Many of our members were not there, but several from the other two branches were. It was a splendid way to end an Easter Sunday.
Today the Ramos District visited Petrópolis, the beautiful little city in which I labored upon arrival in Brazil. It was almost like going home. Elder Bertasso had also worked there, making us a well-outfitted group as far as guides go. It was a fast, fun day that helped unify the district considerably. Upon return, we all ate at Bob’s and resorted to our place for district meeting.
In our weekly meeting we planned an investigator fireside for Sunday evening and discussed our standing spiritually as a district, putting forward specific ideas and programs to improve district unity, animation, and spirituality. I am calling it “Unity in Righteousness,” suggesting it as a theme for the month of April. Also in district meeting we examined and discussed an outline I have prepared to help the members be missionaries, listing specific and practical things they might do to meet the responsibility “every member a missionary.”
