Leishmaniasis

It is very sad to see the suffering of so many stray dogs in Patos that are diagnosed with leishmaniasis. My veterinary doctor daughter Deborah has shown me some pitiful cases. Leishmaniasis is an infectious parasitic disease that can be transmitted to human beings. If you live in Patos and see a stray dog who looks ill please contact Deborah so that she can capture it and treat it together with her colleagues of the Amparar Animal. Another sad sight I saw this week was a stray dog utterly empested with blood-sucking ticks! The dog is being treat. 

QPR lost their last home game of the season in style!😏They lost 5 x 0 to league leaders Burnley who will be in the premiership next season. This leaves QPR in 15th position in the Championship with 1 game to play away to play-off-team Sunderland. 

Our grandson Arthur is flying from the USA to Japan today. Have a good 12-hour flight! ✈

I went to the Deaf Fellowship meeting (photo below) last night which was led by our deaf pastor Luiz Carlos. They had a visiting speaker called Tiago Nóbrega who is a lawyer who was there to explain to them their legal rights regarding benefits. It was an excellent 2-hour meeting. 

Liz went to the evangelistic service held at our school. Our drama team presented a short play followed by an evangelistic message. The service was really blessed and had a good crowd present.
