In Brazil the death toll from the Coronavirus Covid 19 has passed the 200,000 (218,918) mark and still the president and his federal government don't take it seriously. Sadly the last Mayor of Patos, who finished his term of office at the end of December, has died of Covid. His name was Dr. Ivanes Lacerda. This the second wave of the virus is much worse than the first. Many more people are dying now than was previously the case.
Yesterday morning we received the visit of Gilmarco who is a man in his 30s who is a member of our Patos church but he had been living in the extreme south of Brazil for 2 years. He stood out in our front garden and talked to us at a distance as he was missing us. It was lovely to see him and chat to him. In the late afternoon Liz and I went walking at Green Pastures. Everything is extremely dry there as the rains have still not started. I fear a bad year for rain. Please pray.
