Action School

 Liz and I have just had an online meeting with the Patos Action School's headteacher Gerlânia which lasted one and a quarter hours. It was an excellent meeting. As I said some months back Gerlânia had told us she felt it was time for her to move on to different work and we were sad because she is so good. What we agreed today was that we will try and put in place to help Gerlânia a deputy headteacher so as to ease the load. We have a suitable person from our church in mind called Iris and we will now approach her to see if she would like the job. In this way we hope that Gerlânia will stay with us, but if she doesn't we will have someone properly trained to do the job. Please pray about this matter which is very important.

Yesterday afternoon we went to Green Pastures for a walk, and to check things over, but we ended up not walking as it started to rain and rained 14 mm taking our total this year to 250 mm. It has rained again today but I don't know how much.

I laughed yesterday because the British press was making quite a lot of song and dance because a number of the very large bird called the Greater Rhea were circulating in Hertfordshire. These birds are native to Brazil so I agree that they shouldn't be in England but they are harmless birds who run away from human beings. We had a pair of the Greater Rhea at Green Pastures for over a year until they moved on elsewhere.

Please pray for our Pastor Umbirajara in João Pessoa who today is on day 6 of Covid and he has a high temperature.
