This week it has rained every night of the week at Green Pastures! On Monday it rained 16 mm, on Tuesday we had another 16 mm, on Wednesday it rained 18 mm, on Thursday it rained 40 mm and on Friday we had the biggest rain of the year with 90 mm. This caused the dam in the river to overflow and plenty of water accumulated in the lake. The ground is saturated so any rain that falls now will add to the accumulation in the lake which is at 50% of its capacity. It rained again last night 25 mm. This is turning out to be a good rainy season with a total rainfall of 31.5 inches (757 mm) to date. We consider 40 inches an excellent rainy season. We praise God for this wonderful rain in this semi-arid region. Thank you for praying.
On Thursday rain diminished the numbers in the Patos church by about half for the Bible study, but the service went well. On Friday it was our eldest daughter Deborah's birthday.
Last night's service at Green Pastures and at our Patos School were both cancelled owing to the rain. It is a wonderful problem to have!
I have been sorting out some administrative matters for Pastor Maésio up in the mountains at Teixeira with the help of Pastor Hamilton from Campina Grande.
