Early this morning Agamemnon and David showed up to tell us they were not going to come back to church for a while. Idealistically, Agamemnon had decided to sacrifice himself to save Aldo from going inactive. Elder Smith tried to talk some sense into them, but they would not listen. A few hours later Paulo showed up. We asked if he were going to quit too. He thought that a silly thing to do. He is certainly a sharp young man. I grow to respect him more every day.
Tonight I had a long talk with Aldo. I think he’ll be over it in a few days. He realizes how childish he has been and is being (Betânia called him a five-year-old) but would never admit it. The other elders saw Vitória. Paulo had been to talk to them and their father found out about all that was going on. He said they had to attend all the meetings and to respect everybody. So they are restored to the fold. The crisis seems to be over. Aldo’s worst feelings are towards Elder Smith.
