Elder Smith worked with me during the day. He helped Vitória on a chart for Sunday School class while I worked on reports, business letters, etc. We went to see Pedro Maia, missing him by about five minutes. We also banked.
This evening was very instructive. Elder Hendrickson and I visited Nádia and Hévia first and had a productive visit with them. Then we went to Aldo’s for home evening, it being Aldo’s turn to give the lesson. The lesson itself was on the importance of putting first things first and was very good. But it was only a prelude to a long gripe session wherein Aldo aired all his problems, which center in three major areas: the home, his work, and the Church. His family life has not been too sharp lately, which magnifies the many problems at his shop and takes away the spirit of attending the meetings and other Church duties. Resolving his home problems would solve the others. Now I understand his attitude at church in the past few weeks. He doesn’t really hate everybody, but they were just in the way as his other problems were exploding within him and boiling out into the open.
