Last night there was a big rebellion by the prisoners in the Patos Men's Jail. They set fire to mattresses, smashed things and even destroyed a wall. The police only restored order after midnight. These uprisings often are started so that one criminal faction or gang can get at a rival faction and kill their enemies. Thankfully nobody was killed last night.
Yesterday my son-in-law Hutan's Uncle Zé Gomes was released from hospital finally free from Covid. Hutan thanks everyone for their prayers. Please pray for Zé Gomes's wife who is now in hospital. Please also pray for another of our pastors who has gone down with Covid. He is Pastor Umbirajara who is the senior pastor of our first church in João Pessoa.
Yesterday afternoon it rained 12 mm (half an inch) at Green Pastures which is better than nothing, but we desperately need some big rains. One of our two Bushnell Camera Traps at Green Pastures has just again registered the presence of two Jaguarundi wild cats which are about double the size of a large domestic cat. Jaguarundi cats are either a reddish rust colour, as these registered were, or greyish/blueish and we see both colours at Green Pastures from time to time. They hunt the wild guinea pigs and a variety of lizards that we have in abundance.
