MIA held its opening night this evening under the direction of the new leadership, Edmilson Pereira and Inez Tenório. The MIA had died somewhat before my arrival in Maceió, and its reopening was an animating stimulus for the branch. Ten investigator youth, about half the total number present, attended and fully enjoyed themselves. Elder Camargo taught the lesson on the history and purposes and programs of the MIA organizations. The activity following the lesson was called forced talent. As a person’s name was drawn from a hat, he in turn drew from another hat what he had to do. It proved to be quite interesting. The entire evening was considered a smashing success.
This afternoon Elders Bradshaw and Blackham taught a first lesson to Sr. Benedito and his family. They seemed to accept rather well. Elder Camargo and I spent the afternoon at the church. He met with the MIA board and helped them in their plans. I had a good talk with Virginia about the Relief Society and Primary and what we might do to organize them.
This morning we visited Adolfina. Yesterday we saw Apolinário.
