Today was the grand opening of the Primary of the Maceió Branch. Irmã Virginia, the president, did a great job conducting, although she didn’t think she could. Elder Blackham is both music director and secretary. Zezira teaches the younger class, and Elder Smith temporarily teaches the older group. I am the organist.
Opening exercises was highlighted when seven-year-old Richard Versteegh went up to the podium, twice knocked over the little bench he had to stand on to be able to see over the podium, about killing himself, and boomed out in his big outdoor voice the standard: “Seja reverente” [“Be reverent”]. It had to be a classic.
Virginia told Elder Blackham a little about our friend Captain George. She said he was a suspicious character that caused problems the last time he was here. If Virginia, who never speaks evil of others, says that there must be something sneaky going on. Elder Sarager told us on the weekend that he had seen him in Rio and that he had borrowed money from President Johnson. Captain George says he has not yet had the pleasure of meeting the President. He is beginning to look fishier and fishier all the time.
Today ends the first half of 1970. This time is really slipping away fast.
