“Let Virtue Garnish Thy Thoughts Week” is well underway, although we are lacking in follow through since our district meeting on Monday. In that meeting each elder had to think of a specific thing he could do to be a better missionary. Elder Smith suggested letting virtue garnish his thoughts unceasingly. Elder Christensen said he needed to smile more. Elder Blackham: “Only the work matters; love the people.” I mentioned dedication and evaluation.
This week we have been doing a great deal of tracting. It’s surprising what happens when we do that. Elder Blackham and I have three lessons marked, the first of which was for tonight. It fell through, however. Vera’s parents were tracted out by Elders Smith and Christensen and are receiving the lessons. They have now had two.
Tuesday evening we held our second family home evening with Apolinário and Idelta. It is always such a treat to visit in their home. My greatest desire is to see them baptized before either Elder Blackham or I leave Maceió. They consider us as their very own children. I love them very much, and I know Elder Blackham does.
