A 10:00 meeting with Xavier Dias, Portugal North Seminary supervisor. It was very successful, with good discussion of the graduation last Saturday, we called Lisbon and Frankfurt about our new car—talked with Brother Konig (?) and found that a Renault 19 has been ordered (no air! I put in a big play for air, and maybe it will come that way.). It should be here in a couple or three weeks. We worked at the mission office on our presentation—transparency stuff mostly and had a quick meeting with President Copeland. He reported on his weekend in Madrid, and on his traveling with President McCook of the Lisbon Mission. He said to call McCook, that the Lisbon Stake was being divided Sunday by Elder Asay, and we are to be invited to the occasion!! So I called them. He sounded great and asked us to be there for the 10:00 Conference session where the Oeiras Stake will be organized, stay for dinner with his family, Elder Asay, the Traynor family from Tucson who is visiting the McCooks. It's be great! We'll leave early in the morning and return that night.
Also we got from Susan and her family—5 letters and Donna's! It sounded so good—we really needed that! Letters have been slow coming, and my companion was getting pretty low about it. The Hansens reported all is well! It took 18 days for that letter to get here! So much for the 2½ week turn-arounds! And she still hadn't received our letter of the 22nd! We worked through the evening and went to bed later.
