Meeting

We had an excellent online meeting with Pastor Wostenes and his wife Gleydice (Campina Grande) yesterday. We had an ample discussion of the work. Wostenes is the vice-chairman of ACEV.

Two of the Patos church's young women, Daysa and Geralda, have graduated from university with degrees in Brazilian sign language. It is amazing how much our work with the deaf is producing fruit.

I saw and photographed yesterday afternoon a Common Potoo. It is an amazing bird which remains stationary all day upright on a tree. It is about 14 inches high. It is so well camouflaged that it is very hard to see.

I work in a partnership with a Christian poetess called Zenilda Lua. She writes the poetry and I supply the nature photos. These are published on a Christian site. We have just produced another 'poetic photo' which will be published next week. This poem is in defence of God's creation.

Last night's service went well at the Assentamento Village in São Mamede County. Tonight we will hold another service at Green Pastures. Today is our granddaughter Alice's 14th birthday.
