On Friday morning we took the Fiddys to the Roman Catholic shrine called the Cruz da Menina (girl's cross) which is a place where people go to pray for healing. The shrine is built around the legend of a girl who died in 1923 at the location of the shrine and to whom are attributed miraculous powers by Catholicism. The place is one of spiritual oppression and we were glad to get out it.
On Friday afternoon I took David Fiddy for a walk at Green Pastures and we saw and photographed a 6-banded Armadillo.
On Friday night we took the Fiddys to a lesson of Brazilian sign language for the deaf taught by our deaf pastor Luiz Carlos. It was a wonderful and enjoyable night with the very important EAB/ACEV ministry to the profoundly deaf which this year celebrates 30 years of existence. There are over 10 million with impaired hearing in Brazil which includes 2.7 million people who are totally deaf.
This blog has been written uninterrupted for the last 20 years this month. Last month it received 1,635 viewings.
On Saturday morning Liz gave the Fiddys a guided tour of the Patos general market and vegetable, meat & fish market. They ended up having a coffee at the quite new Patos shopping centre.
On Saturday afternoon we took the Fiddys to our Sitio Gloria church where Margaret and David sang and David preached. It was the 9th anniversary of the church and it was beautifully organized and blessed.
The Fiddys will be returning to the UK this afternoon and we wish them a good trip!
