Hectic Weekend

Sunday was an extremely full day which started with a 2 hour church business meeting in the morning which went very well. All sorts of matters were discussed such as how to improve some aspects of our services, and some new leaders were put in place in some of the church's ministries. It all went off very well.

As yesterday was our youngest daughter Sacha's birthday we all then went out for lunch together at a restaurant and that was great too. Quite a crowd with only our eldest grandson Felipe missing, as he's on military service.

Then we had to get ready for the Sunday evening service which is the principal service of the week, which I led and preached at, completing John 5 in my series in this Gospel. It was a lovely service and this was followed by various meetings with individuals who needed to talk to me like the leader from the Passagem church, the leader of the deaf ministry and the leader of the Christians in Action group. I got home pretty exhausted!

Tomorrow I have a new university professor lined up to see me. She is a bee specialist and wishes to set up research into native bees at Green Pastures which is something I have long wanted to see there. The professor visited Green Pastures whilst I was recovering from my surgery so already knows what it's like there. Another researcher is already lined up to start studies with frogs and toads. All this is so encouraging.
