Inez and Vitória were the two saddest ones that they were unable to go to Recife. We thought of sending them by bus also, but Inez’s grandmother vetoed the idea by saying Inez was sick (she has had the flu) and could go next time. Poor Inez nearly cried. She had been looking forward to this conference so much. Vitória was a bit upset too. Our quartet we were entering in the music division became a duet. Vitória was going to sing a solo. Everything to be entered in the art division Vitória was going to bring. As Elder Blackham would say, “What a bummer!”
Today the mother of Sônia and Simone left for Belo Horizonte to have Richard’s eyes operated on. Sônia and Simone plan to have a special fast for him. We agreed to fast together with them.
"Love is one of the chief characteristics of Deity, and ought to be manifested by those who aspire to be the sons of God. A man filled with the love of God, is not content with blessing his family alone, but ranges through the whole world, anxious to bless the whole human race" (Joseph Smith Jr., Dec. 15, 1840; in Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith [Salt Lake City: Deseret Book, 1969], 174).
"All I can offer the world is a good heart and a good hand" (Joseph Smith Jr., July 9, 1843; in Teachings, 313).
