The excitement of the day is Brazil’s glorious 4 to 1 victory over Italy in yesterday’s final game of the World Cup in Mexico City. The Jules Rimet Cup retires to Brazil since this is Brazil’s third win. As the game ended, carnival broke out all over Brazil. Three days of holiday were planned, but the president of the Republic decreed only today and tomorrow as holidays. Wednesday already is São João’s Day.
Yesterday morning in Sunday School we had a visit from Elder Coleman, a counselor in the district presidency. He delivered a sharp talk on faith and testimony. He returned to Recife at noon.
Elder Blackham and I went with Aldo Sunday afternoon to give a blessing to the baby brother of Sonia and Simone, Richard Sabino Tenório. Born with glaucoma, he is almost completely blind. Soon he will be taken to Belo Horizonte for an operation. I feel so humbled every time I’m called upon to give a blessing. The Lord helping, things should turn out pretty well for him.
Today we ate Italian spaghetti at the home of Humberto Soares, a celebration party for Brazil’s victory. A lot of people were there. Elder Blackham sang a couple numbers with a guitar. That is always a lovely experience. Early in the morning we played volleyball at the SESC.
