Today proved to be an eventful day. In the afternoon the branch met in Sunday School and sacrament meeting. We had stopped by Paulo’s home to bring them with us, but Paulo and his wife had left looking for houses. The kids would not come with us. The meetings were good, and I was most upset that they did not have the chance again to attend.
Immediately following the meetings we headed for Jorge Duarte’s home for a fireside for investigators scheduled at 7:30. The film Man’s Search for Happiness was shown.
Beginning at 7:00 and lasting until 9:00, the first session of general conference was broadcast by a local radio station. The session was translated into Portuguese and transmitted by satellite. Hearing the voice of the Prophet, President Joseph Fielding Smith, was a special treat. Elders Richard L. Evans, Franklin D. Richards, and Howard W. Hunter also spoke. President Smith’s address was his first conference talk as President of the Church. The Tabernacle Choir sounded marvelous. Since Elder Smith was directing the fireside, I stayed outside in front of Jorge’s home listening to all of the conference.
After the fireside, nearly 9:00, we finally broke our fast.
