As tired as we were from yesterday’s trip, we were up bright and early today with lots to do. Elder Blackham and I headed first for Apolinário’s place to tell him he could now be baptized. We were afraid the good news would give him a heart attack or a stroke or something. He took it OK. He was already planning on going to Recife on Thursday for the conference with Brother Hinckley. Taking into consideration his health and the fact that President Johnson wants to interview them again, we arranged to perform the baptism after the conference in the font of the Recife chapel. The ocean would have been too hard on him. He is so happy now.
Next we went to see others of our members to arrange for the conference. At this point only Aldo’s car is going and is already more than full. Tonight we went to see Pedro Maia to see if he was really going to take his kombi. We explained that if he did not go the majority of those going could not go. He is in a very tight situation financially and says he has to work (going to the conference will cost him valuable time) because of the four-day holiday weekend just past. He plans to travel tomorrow to collect money. If his day is successful, he will go. He will have an answer for us late tomorrow afternoon.
