Wednesday I called Edmilson to serve as general secretary of the Aaronic Priesthood. He will be working somewhat as my assistant. I also called him to be the “father” of our youth home evening. We also combined to collect fast offerings tonight, which we did. That same day and again today Elder Blackham and I spent most of our efforts putting all the branch records in order and training our newly called secretarial force.
Tonight Elder Blackham worked with David Cavalcante de Melo while I was with Edmilson. I missed the best home evening that has probably ever been held in Aldo’s house. Sônia, Simone, and Fátima attended also. Each person was assigned another person and had to think of five specific reasons why he liked that person. After that anybody could add anything more they wanted. A testimony meeting followed. Elder Blackham reported it was one of the most precious experiences of his whole life.
Edmilson and I tonight collected Cr$57 in budget money. Starting this month the branch has to pay Cr$70, which is 20 percent of the rent. We also collected Cr$60 in tithes and fast offerings. Probably more fast offerings were collected tonight than in the whole year up to now.
