About noon today Elder Terry Christensen, our zone leader, and Elder Sarager arrived from Recife to spend a few days working with us. This afternoon Elder Sarager went with Elder Blackham, and Elder Christiansen worked with me at the church. During the evening we all attended MIA’s São João party. There was a casamento matutu (a hillbilly marriage), a bonfire, food of various types all made of corn, and games. Aldo brought some fellows from work to play the guitar and sing hillbilly music.
Today a man named Captain George Silav arrived on the scene, a very strange sort of fellow. He is a sea captain, he says, of Romanian birth and American citizenship and has lived about the last eight years in Brazil. He has supposedly been a member about that long. He speaks English so very badly. He was here in Maceió about two and a half years ago, and there seems to have been some friction. I don’t think he likes Aldo. At tonight’s party I thought he rather made a fool of himself at times. His Portuguese is about as hard to understand as his English.
The visiting elders are spending the night with Aldo’s family.
