This morning we helped clean the chapel, which was getting to be pretty dirty. Paulo and a few of Vitória’s little brothers were the only ones who showed up to help. Edmilson hadn’t been informed. This afternoon we never did play volleyball because of rain and having to quit earlier in the afternoon because of this evening’s party.
About 5:00 we went to Pedro Maia’s place for a birthday party for Jacqueline, who is five today, and for Joseph Smith, who will be four in about two weeks. Pedro had gone out earlier in the day and returned drunk just before the party started. He was completely out of it. Umbelina was upset but kept her cool the whole evening. Nearly the entire branch plus many other people were there. Before we left Pedro took Elder Smith and me alone into the bathroom. It was a pretty humbling experience to see him on his knees sobbing his heart out. He asked for our forgiveness and begged us to help him.
With all this in progress, we left with the members about 7:30 to go to MIA. Elder Smith did not teach a lesson. We just had an activity.
