Today completes six months that I have been working in Maceió. They have been both trying and rewarding months. I am a much different person than the Elder Cleverly who arrived here in mid April, for as I witnessed in Elder Blackham, I too have developed and matured spiritually, emotionally, socially, and even physically.
For a few days we are privileged to have Elders Knecht and Stewart, assistants to the president, visiting with us. They arrived yesterday afternoon from Fortaleza. It was really good to see them again. Elder Knight went with Elder Smith last night and Elder Stewart, my old companion, with me to a home evening at Aldo’s house. Of course, everybody thought we looked like brothers.
This morning we spent in a special proselyting seminar, learning how to more effectively teach the lessons.
This afternoon Elder Stewart worked with me again while Elders Hendrickson and Knight went to teach a lesson to Helder Vasconcellos (they found lineage in the ancestry). We made visits with Virginia and Inez to invite ladies to attend Relief Society. Schools were out today because of a teachers’ holiday. Elder Smith and Knecht spent the afternoon at the church supervising special activities there. Once again tonight I worked with Elder Stewart. We saw Hévia and Apolinário.
