Captain George hasn’t shown his face again since I told him we could not help. Today a letter of response arrived from President Johnson:
“Not one centavo!!! No sirrreee bob, not a single centavo to Jorge Silav. This man has already put it to me twice, my being so softhearted and all, but no more!!! I do not want him bothering the missionaries or stirring up trouble in the branch. Counsel the members there to ignore him and hope that he goes away, and tell the missionaries not to waste their time nor their money with or on him.
“If this sounds cruel, and un-Christianlike, he has brought it on. If I hear any more of his stirring up trouble in any branch, he will be tried for his membership!
“You were exactly right in denying any consideration to him. Do not assume any responsibility for him, his debts, etc. in any way, implied or accepted, and incidentally he always happens to be out of money, and any day now is going to receive a big settlement that is due him. He says. But no more. Thank-you for your caution and your wisdom in holding off.”
Last night we taught a fifth lesson to Apolinário and Idelta. Elder Smith and I had a meeting with the kids going to youth conference.
