When I arrived in Brazil in July 1958, there was only one mission in the country - A Missão Brasileira. Pres. Sorensen was my president then. In November of that year, Pres. William Grant Bangerter relieved Pres. Sorensen. In November 1959, Pres. Sorensen was back as the president of the Missão Brasileira do Sul. I was working in Joinville at the time and remained in the South Mission. My companion was David Louis Kjar from Manti, UT but soon left to become a senior companion. Elder Robert Jones Bringhurst from Alhambra, CA took his place. Elder Bringhurst and I opened up Jaragua do Sul. Bob and I are still good friends. A few months later, I was called to be the District President of the Ipomeia District. Five months or so later, Pres. Sorensen called me to be the District President of the yet unopened Florianós District. My companion, Donald Guy Croasmun, and I opened up the city of Florianópolis in the spring of 1960. (Elder Croasmun, Pueblo, CO, later passed away during his mission). There were many wonderful missionaries in the Florianópolis District. Pres. Sorensen had me scout out other possible sites for the Church in that part of SC - Tubarão, Criciúma, Itajaí, etc. I finished out my mission as a Traveling Supervising Elder operating out of Pelotas, RGS. Elders Monte J. (Mouse) Gibson, Norman Van Dam and I went home together on the SS BRASIL. We were the last Elders to travel home by ship. My wife, Maryann, and I have seven children between us and twenty-four grand children. Four of the children served full-time missions. All are endowed. My wife is the ward Relief Society President and is a supervisor in the Oakland Temple on Fridays. I have served in bishoprics, high councils, stake missions, seventies presidencies, etc. and am currently a stake financial clerk. Como sempre, e vai ficar assim, o evangelho é verdadeiro. Quanto mais que eu faço estudos das escrituras, quanto mais o testemunho cresça. Estarei grato para toda a eternidade pelo p |

"Vocês são um grande exército de ex-missionários. Prossigam com novo zelo e determinação e, por meio de seu exemplo, façam brilhar a luz do evangelho neste mundo atribulado. Esse é o trabalho do Senhor no qual estamos engajados. Deus vive. Jesus é o Cristo. Pertencemos à Sua Igreja. Esse é o testemunho que presto a vocês em nome de Jesus Cristo. Amém."
