We didn't have one drop of rain in the second half of May or throughout the month of June. The rainy season had ended. However yesterday, July 1st, we had a surprise rain of just over 3 inches (75 mm)! Usually in our part of Brazil we just might get an odd light shower of rain in July but never 75 mm. It is the best rain we have had this year and the best we have had in July since we started keeping records of rainfall at Green Pastures 20 years ago.
I am very happy that our granddaughter Louisa (aged 21), Philip and Gylmara's daughter who lives with us, started her online Bible College course yesterday at the Faculdade Teológica Sul Americana (FTSA). It is a very good highly respected and high quality degree course. She finishes her law course this year and so has already started her degree in theology as well. She was bubbling last night about church history and we had a good discussion. The college's system is that she does a subject a month per semester followed by a one month break. Thus she will do 5 subjects this year before having December off. She then will do 5 more subjects in the first half of next year prior to having June off - and so it will continue over 3 years. Please pray for Louisa.
I have prepared my sermon for this Sunday's communion service which I will also be leading.
Ana Paula, Pastor Hamilton's wife at our 2nd Campina Grande church, is much better from Covid and is expected to be sent home from hospital today. Thank you for praying.
