Yesterday’s violent rains gave way to nicer weather today. At 6:00 this morning we were catching the bus to Recife. We arrived about 10:30 or thereabouts. We ate lunch with the elders in their apartment. At 12:30, having gone to the chapel, we started zone meeting. Elder Christiansen presided and conducted. The bulk of our time we spent learning of a new program in the mission called “hustling and pepping the members.” We will be having a “Love our members week” and finally a branch home evening in which the elders, acting as a family, present a home evening. It sounds like fun. The purpose is to make the members friends so that they, loving and trusting us as missionaries, will give us their friends to teach.
We had planned to see Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid at 4:40, requiring us to catch the leito bus back to Maceió because it was the last one leaving (at 8:00). The leito is twice as expensive as the regular bus. Well, the show did not start until 6:30, making us lose out on both ends. As a substitute, and a poor one at that, we saw a very bad Italian western. It was not dirty, just dumb.
We arrived back in Maceió at midnight.
