Our wheelchair bank this week lent a wheelchair to a lady who is 100 years old. She is totally lucid, but is very down because her 103 year old sister has just died. It was then that her daughter heard about our wheelchair bank for the poor via our online services. She hopes that it will cheer her up being able to get about in a wheelchair. Please pray that this family will hear God's voice through this practical demonstration of God's love.

The services over the weekend went very well. The service at Green Pastures on Saturday night which I led was really good with our young lawyer Rayla preaching the Gospel. She was excellent. This service was supported by the Patos church youth which was good having over 20 of them present. Then on Sunday morning the Sunday School in Patos had over 50 present. It is lovely to see our 11 year old granddaughter Bia doing such a great work with the little children who love her. Bia is just like Liz was at her age. Finally on Sunday night the service was lovely with some people back in church who we hadn't seen since the start of the pandemic early last year.

Liz and I visited our 89-year-old elder Pedro Guedes on Saturday afternoon together with his young wife (86) and deaconess Beatriz. It was good to see that Pedro is better in health and we encouraged them to get a grandchild to bring them to church soon. Please continue to pray for them.

Early research in Uruguay shows that having a third Covid jab with the Pfizer vaccine on top of two jabs of the Coronavac Chinese vaccine, that we had, increases anti-bodies 20 times! We hope to have this third jab in October.
