My dear Mother, aged 92, there in Hampshire, England, is hanging on to life these last few days. It doesn't matter what your Mum's age is - it's always your Mum and one feels it even at this distance. We know she's in the Lord's hands and trust Him always. The doctor thought Sunday would be Mum's limit and all the family in the UK gathered. Mum however is still with us this Monday night and we pray for her and for my sister Jean who is doing all she can to support the staff at Mum's home where she is. We value your prayers for the whole situation.
A week ago today I had five blibs and blobs removed from my skin and that went very well. Liz and I had our annual eye tests too with no change in lens strength for either of us.
We had a good meeting of the Patos church leadership last Tuesday and had a good united discussion on a variety of matters. The service in Patos yesterday was good. My sermon on true worshippers went well when we focused on the need for worship to be in spirit (from the soul/heart) and in truth (absolutely sincere). Another soup run went great on the Friday and the Christians in Action group did well again with the church plant at Ipueira.
We've had the Butterfly researcher team (Federal University) back for another 3-day spell at Green Pastures and on Wednesday it's the Lizards (Iguana, Teju and smaller lizards) team from the same university who will be back for another 3-day spell. Today the native tree experts were there. Over the weekend we had another inch of rain and our rainy season total is now over 32 inches! PTL!
