Brazil has the second highest interest rate in the world, second only to Turkey. Brazil's interest rate is 9.53% per annum after having discounted inflation. This only goes to show the precarious state of the Brazilian economy. The UK's interest rate after discounting inflation is 0.28%.
Thursday was a public holiday here so our Campina Grande Catolé church held an all night of prayer only going home when Thursday dawned. 120 people spent the night in God's house in prayer. Praise God! 🙌
Patos is in the middle of its 5-day St John's Day Festival, or rather 5-night festival as it is a series of 5 all night parties from about 10 pm till dawn with up to 100,000 people taking part! Entrance is free with the cost of the famous singers and bands paid by the town council.

It might be hotter in the UK than it is here as this is our coolest month of the year. Today we have a maximum of 32 degrees and a minimum in the night of 22 degrees. Take care! ☀☂
Yesterday we went to our girls' TEFL school 'Cultura Inglesa' for the giving out of certificates for the first semester. Students and parents came to the school, received their certificates, ate maize tasties and heard live regional music. It was very nice. The school does a brilliant job teaching English as a second language in a wonderful way.
