Prayer

 I led the prayer meeting and Bible study on Thursday evening and there were 30 present. Davi and Joao Filho led the praise and Vasti and Espedita sang solos. Dede, Mariana, Marcio and Rayla shared verses of scripture with us. Rafael brought the study from Joel 3. We also had a lovely time of prayer together. It was a good meeting.

I have had a good meeting with our schools' coordinators at the beginning of the 2024 school year. It was a positive meeting.

I went out to Green Pastures and had a chat with Francisco. I heard a Striped Cuckoo, a Guira Cuckoo and a Rufous-browed Peppershrike. We badly need a lot more rain at Green Pastures. 

We keep some non-wild Guinea Pigs at Green Pastures for the enjoyment of the children who go there for camps etc. The Guinea Pigs have been dying so we decided to do a major clean up of the area they are kept in to see if we could find the cause. We found it! A deadly poisonous Caatinga Lancehead snake (Bothrops Erythromelas) was hiding inside their caged area. No wonder the guinea pigs were dying!
