In a Brazilian Nutshell

My EAB Nutshell Update was dispatched late on Wednesday night, just before midnight, so everyone around the world should have awoken to it in their inbox at breakfast today! If you want to receive a copy please let me know.

Yesterday we had the sad news that Jéssica, our deaf pastor Luiz Carlos's wife, who is also deaf, lost her unborn baby at 36 weeks weeks of pregancy. When she went to the hospital there was no heartbeat and they estimate there had been no growth of the baby for the past 6 weeks. This is the second baby they have lost. The first was much earlier in pregnancy. So they will now try to discover the cause. Our church support team has been fantastic in all this and the Married Couples Ministry has been amazingly helpful. Thank God for Christians! Please pray for the couple.

On Tuesday I had an excellent meeting with the 'Native non-stinging Bee' professor from the university and next Thursday she will be going to our Green Pastures Reserve with me to commence her research. She told me that she found 2 nests of 'Melipona interrupta' bees there in tree hollows on her first brief visit which is a good sign of preservation. 

Liz will be giving the Bible study again this evening.
