On Tuesday evening we held our Christmas service at the Pastor Frank Dyer School in the borough of Jatobá on the south side of Patos. The service was held in the street in front of the school as we have nowhere else to fit such a crowd of children and their parents. There were different presentations from classes of children such as a poem, songs, dance etc. It all went off beautifully. At the end head-teacher Gerlania led the giving of presents to the children and served up a snack to them all. We praise God for our Patos school which this year won top place in Patos once again.
I have finished reading the book 'The Covent Garden Murder' written by my good friend Mike Hollow. As always it was a very good read. This was book number 8 in his Blitz Detective series and I have thoroughly enjoyed them all, find them very relaxing and highly recommend them. Mike might like to learn that I once sang on the Covent Garden Opera House stage when I was a teenager back in the 1960s, so that's the nearest I'll ever get into one of his books! What about a murder in Portobello Road Mike? That would really be my neck of the woods!
Every morning I read the 'Folha de São Paulo' newspaper, which I subscribe to on line for my Brazilian news. I also enjoy watching the commentaries by Brazilian journalist Reinaldo Azevedo on Instagram. For international news I depend on the twice daily BBC news briefing updates.
Liz went to the Women's Fellowship's end-of-year party last night which went off very nicely she tells me. Parallel to this our Drama group had their end-of-year party too.
3 were baptized at the weekend at our Princesa Isabel church. Praise God!
Brilliant 👏👏👏
