Great Antshrike

Philip spent the day on Friday with his family at Green Pastures and he photographed a pair of Great Antshrikes. The male is black and white and the female is rust coloured and white. They always go hunting together in the nature reserve and have bright red eyes. They are about the size of a UK Blackbird.

Yesterday we travelled 150 km west of Patos to Curral Velho (Old Cow Pen) to preach at the 33rd anniversary service of our church there. We arrived there at about 5 pm and had a lovely meal and fellowship with the couple who are the leaders there, Ramos and Tica. Ramos is an expert cook. We enjoyed the good chat with these leaders and caught up to date with all the news. I preached on Psalm 116 as I had been asked to speak on Psalm 116:12. All went off very well and we drove back home after the service arriving at 11 pm.

On Friday night the adolescents' fellowship meeting went well and last night the youth went to Green Pastures in support of the weekly meeting there. There was also a service at Ipueira and another at Passagem.

Yesterday the mighty QPR won their international match against Cardiff with a 2 x 1 victory in Cardiff. Thus QPR has risen in the Championship from 24th to 16th place and doubtless the likes of Manchester City and Arsenal are already trembling in their boots as they see the possibility of the Rrrrrs being promoted! 😉
