I went for a long walk at Green Pastures on Tuesday afternoon and a Rufescent Tiger-Heron flew out from the bushes to my right, whilst squawking loudly as it went. It is a large 70 cm bird which is quite majestic. I also saw a Burrowing-Owl, a Pigmy Nightjar and a number of Guira Cuckoos.
I have had two online meetings with pastors. First of all Pastor Maésio from Teixeira who is on holiday in João Pessoa, then secondly Pastor Iremar from the village of Juá in Salgado de São Felix County. It is good to keep in touch with all the pastors from time to time.
On Tuesday night it rained 11 mm (almost half an inch) at Green Pastures so slowly, and in small doses, the rainy season is under way here. On Wednesday night it rained a further 10 mm. In other regions, such as Princesa Isabel, they have had more rain than us. There it rained 34 mm on Tuesday.
I am working on the Carnival Camp which we hope to hold at Green Pastures from the 26th of February to the 2nd of March. I say hope to hold as we don't know how the pandemic will develop between now and then. I am working on the 7 services and the subjects for each speaker. If anyone would like to help poorer people go to the camp then please contribute via the EAB treasurer. The camp costs 30 pounds per person.
Our granddaughter Louisa, who is in the UK at the moment with her family, passed her Bar lawyer's exam. She had passed the first stage of the exam and sat the second and final stage just before going to England. The final result came out yesterday afternoon at 5 pm and there was much jubilation with the result. Louisa is now a fully fledged qualified and registered lawyer.
