Continuing in the same fine tradition, our third youth home evening was another special experience. When all the smaller kids were around, they created such a bagunça, but they finally left, and we had a memorable spiritual experience that I’ll not soon forget. Each person in the group had to list five specific reasons why he liked another determined person in the room. After that anybody could add other observations. With a little bit of pulling previously, I had Elder Blackham assigned to me. It is strange what an experience like this can do to people. I really have grown to love Elder Blackham but have never thought of particular reasons why I did. He has so many great qualities that my choosing involved selecting the best five for the particular moment. I appreciate him and am grateful for his talents (especially his singing), for his eagerness to work and serve, for his humility, for his ability to love others, for his sense of humor, and for his testimony. Such a great positive feeling of love was generated during our session that all were uplifted and edified.
Yesterday afternoon Elders Blackham and Christensen taught a first lesson to Pedro Guimarães and his wife, in our area. They said it was sharp.
