Wild Guinea Pig

On the way to leading the service at Green Pastures on Saturday a baby wild guinea pig (cavea aperea) ran across the road in front of the jeep. We see a lot of them here. They are similar in colour to the wild rabbits in the UK. The service went very well with a lovely word of testimony from brother Manoel whose life was changed by the Gospel after having been quite a local rogue. The service in Patos last night was blessed in the praise and worship, but pastor Lucena's sermon was below par unfortunately.

Average Covid daily deaths are down in Brazil to 765. This is still sadly high but is a lot better than the 4,000 a day peak some months back. The vaccination campaign is bearing fruit and the death rate is slowly decreasing though we don't know what effect the Delta variant (now present in Brazil) may have.

The political situation in Brazil is very tense with President Bolsonaro and his followers calling for a military coup d'état as they see defeat in next year's election on the horizon. We would ask you to pray for democracy, peace and justice in Brazil. 

QPR has made a good start to the new football season with two wins and two draws in the league and one win in the League Cup. 😃
