Yesterday afternoon we learned that Virginia’s grandmother died in Recife. The funeral is this afternoon in Atalaia. Therefore, Aldo and his family attended neither MIA last night nor the meetings this morning. Elder Blackham and I spent most of the afternoon with Virginia, trying to give some consolation. She took it all pretty good. Inez was really hit hard.
In MIA we showed films of the October 1968 semi-annual general conference. It was a special spiritual treat. None of the members had ever seen or heard a general conference before. We saw both President David O. McKay and President Joseph Fielding Smith. The Tabernacle Choir was beautiful. I have seen these particular films twice before here in Brazil, but it was great once again.
Today’s testimony meeting was particularly good, the Holy Ghost animating so many to testify. The choir had its second practice this afternoon.
Tonight at our house we held the first family home evening for the youth of the branch who come from part-member families. Present were Sônia, Simone, Fátima, Nádia, Edmilson, Vitória, David, Moyses, and Márcia. We played College Bowl using the Joseph Smith tract. Next week will be at Nádia’s place with Sônia in charge of the lesson.
