My first night in Maceió, Wednesday, gave me the opportunity to meet a good hunk of the branch membership. At the home of Aldo Tenório, the branch president, the five elders gathered to attend a little going-away party for a family moving to Salvador, Bahia. I was given to understand that the branch here had only two families that were fully active as complete families: the branch president’s family and this family just leaving. Pois é! Aldo’s wife is related, a cousin I believe, to Lair Barbosa, the member I baptized in Meier in September. Lair is Lucia’s mother, the wife of Irmão Delfino. They now live in Tijuca. Lucia sent em mãos a letter to them.
The last few days have gone by really fast. We have been busy, but working in a threesome has not helped efficiency. Already I am figuring out which direction is which in this town. Last night the three of us, with Aldo and his wife, taught a second lesson to Meuze Pinto and his wife. A good family, but they have their problems.
Elder Seal has been using the last few days filling me in on information concerning the branch, the members, the city, etc. It has been nice having him around.
