Honorary Citizen

On Friday Liz and I travelled up the Teixeira Mountain to Matureia for a ceremony at the town council to receive honorary citizenship. The council even had the town's band to play for us! Our local pastor Renilson and his wife Getiane were there with us and they received an award also for their service to Matureia. We were all served a tasty snack after the ceremony. This means I now have received honorary citizenships from 5 towns: Patos, Imaculada, São Mamede, Manaira and Matureia. I also received honorary citizenship of the whole State of Paraíba back in 2004. All glory be to God! It is a joy to serve God and one's fellow man. 

We have just dispatched some Christmas hampers through a lady called Florzinha who runs a donkey cart delivery service with a donkey called Popeye! Liz and Florzinha are good friends and they work together to discreetly reach the poorest of the poor. Pastor Nemias at our Flores church has also been distributing Christmas hampers. 

I have just eaten a custard apple which was utterly delicious. 😋

QPR have extended their unbeaten run to 6 games with a 1 x 1 draw away at Bristol City.

Yesterday was our daughter Lynn's birthday so Liz cooked sweet and sour chicken for her for her lunch.

  1. Desejo que essas memorias, os atos, as viagens, e a missao que executam, tomem as asas do tempo e posem no aeroporto de um novo livro.
    Desejo bênçãos redobradas.
