I led the mid-week prayer meeting and Bible study. Numbers were down by half as probably people were at the fair ground. Vasti returned to singing a solo after her gall bladder surgery and Espedita sang too. Marina led the praise backed by Davi on acoustic guitar. Deborah Maria, Mada, Cleide, Dede, João Moreno and Maria read "my Bible verses" and Pastor Rafael brought the study from Amos 9.
X (formerly Twitter) is back off the air again as the battle between Brazil's supreme court and Elon Musk continues. X is now threatened with a fine of R$5 million a day (about 720,000 pounds) for every day it is illegally functioning in Brazil.
Brazil is considering introducing 'Brazilian summer time' to economize electricity, but it would not start until after the elections for mayors and councillors on October 6th because it would be an unpopular move. The last time they tried it it was chaos and they soon abandoned it. It would mean that Brazil would only be 2 hours behind the UK in the winter. At the moment we are 4 hours behind BST.
The whole of Brazil is in the midst of severe drought with many accompanying massive forest fires. The usually very wet Amazon rain forest region unbelievably has drought and the forest burns in large areas. Please pray.
