Good Weekend

Liz and I went to Soledade on Saturday and had a meeting with the church members chatting over different aspects of the work and ending up with the reelection of the pastor (Angelo) for another 5 year mandate). I think our system of mandates is good as it stops any eventually lazy leaders getting embedded into a job or sort of taking the church over. Most mandates get renewed but the trigger is there if necessary. Angelo's mandate was renewed. See below the photo from the meeting. On the way there and back Liz and I had our usual business meetings to make the most of the journies.

On Sunday morning Liz was back teaching her Sunday School class for the first time since her accident. Then at night the service was lovely. The sermon went great on "All you need is love". 

Today Liz has been at the Care Centre with the Care Centre Doctor Luiz caring for extremely poor people linked to the battered wives project we run in a Patos slum.
