President Monteiro asked all missionaries in the Boa Vista Stake to attend the Saturday evening adult meeting. He and Sister Monteiro would be speaking. We rode the busses with our Elders, going and coming. After the first hour, while everyone else sang the congregational hymn, and before President and Sister Monteiro spoke, all the missionaries (including us) had to get up and leave, so we could get home before 9:00 p.m. That was interesting . . . we left right away and still got home after 10:30. The next morning, we rode the bus provided for our Grupo to Boa Vista Stake Center to attend the 10:00 meeting. The chapel in the stake building covers the entire top floor of the building. The place was packed and took quite a while for everyone to get down the stairs. Starting in the middle of the top row of pictures is Vitório, a new stalwart member, followed by Elders Esty and Christensen with Amadeus, also a new member. On the 2nd row, I'm with Andreza and Larisa, then the 12 people who were baptized after conference. The Curitiba Temple President and his wife took a liking to us; it was fun to chat with them.
