Every night without fail we have a ceremony designed to insure a reasonable night’s sleep. Due to the popularity of mosquitoes, we have a net that hangs all over our beds to keep the rasty little pests out. As we pull it down each night, there begins a five- or ten-minute ritual of killing, by clapping our hands upon them, the braver ones who insist on staying inside.
On Thursday I worked with Elder Bradshaw in our area while Elder Blackham worked with Elder Camargo in the other area. Our efforts were all tracting. During the afternoon we spoke with a man who had been Pentecostal but could not take the fanaticism involved therein (his own words). His mind was tickled and challenged by the idea of apostles and prophets on the earth today. He marked a visit with us.
Yesterday a new monetary system went into effect in Brazil. The cruzeiro novo has been replaced by a new denomination known just as cruzeiro. The new notes, colorfully bright bills of modern design, are being printed here in Brazil. Before all money was printed in England and the United States. One new cruzeiro has the same value as an old cruzeiro novo (or 1.000 cruzeiros velhos), popularly called conto, or conno in missionary talk.
