Following a simple preparatory service at the church, many of the branch members gathered early on the Pajuçara Beach to watch Fátima Maria Sabino Tenório and Adriano de Oliveira Tenório become members of the Church of Jesus Christ. Elder Smith baptized Fátima, and I baptized Adriano.
Immediately following the baptism, Elder Hendrickson and I grabbed the 7:30 bus for Recife. Upon arrival there, we headed straight for the chapel. How good it was to see once again Elder Monte Stewart, my old companion and friend, and his present companion, Elder Michael Knight, now both assistants to the President. They are touring every city in the mission. This afternoon we, the district and zone leaders, had a wonderful “excitement council” with them, the first to be held in the Nordeste.
Without any success, we tried to locate conference on a short-wave set the elders had borrowed. This evening I worked with Elder Brinton. We showed a slide strip to relatives and neighbors of a member. Elders Knight and Stewart left for João Pessoa. We are spending the weekend with Elder Brinton’s district, who all live in the same apartment.
