When we dropped by to see Apolinário last night, he had taken a turn for the worse. Idelta was a nervous wreck. She was crying when Elder Blackham and I arrived, and we thought he must have died. We sat by his bed to talk to him, and he didn’t seem too bad. We decided to fast for him, returning this morning to see how he had passed the night. We were ready to give a blessing if necessary. He was much better this morning. He plans on living until he can be baptized.
This afternoon was the branch picnic at a beach called Mirante do Sereia. It was a beautiful spot. The picnic was lots of fun. About 20 people gathered at the church and we left from there by bus about 2:00. When we arrived Pedro Maia and family was already there. Pedro turned a bit sick and left about 6:00. Aldo arrived about then (his family had come earlier), and since there was no food left he had to leave too. Ten of us were left, four elders, Edmilson, Sonia, Simone, Vitória, her empragada, and Fátima. We sang songs and talked on the evening beach until 8:00, when we headed back. To end off the picnic we attended a volleyball game at the SESC. The Brazil championships are being held, and Elders Blackham and Smith are going out of their minds with excitement. We saw Alagoas beat Ceará in the girls division.
