This morning in Sunday School the district president, Alfredo Miranda, and the president of the Recife Branch, Evaldo de Oliveira, the latter a member of only seven months, paid us a visit. They came to release Aldo Tenório as president of the Maceió Branch. I was sustained in his place. Aldo was called and accepted a call to serve as Sunday School superintendent.
Both of the brethren took the opportunity to speak to the branch membership. Aldo was quite pleased with the change, as he indicated in his sacrament meeting talk this evening. The move seemed to be an animating one for the branch. Certain inactive members have indicated that they would return when Aldo was no longer branch president, using him as their excuse for their inactivity. Now we shall see what they will do with their excuse removed.
The two brethren from Recife dined with us at Aldo’s home before their return to Recife.
Tonight I presided over my first sacrament meeting. Speakers were Aldo Tenório, Simone Tenório, and Elder Bradshaw. The congregation sang “Dos montes nos temos a força” [“Firm as the Mountains around Us”] as a special musical number. That excited them. Only 14 people were present.
