Volcano

A Brazilian tourist, 26-year-old Juliana Marins, fell whilst hiking with a group in Indonesia near the crater of the active volcano of Mount Rinjani. She was seen alive after the fall, but searchers were trying to rescue her by helicopter, but were hindered by bad weather, but in the end she was found dead.

June 23rd, the eve of St John's Day, is bonfire and firework night in Brazil. Nowadays bonfires and fireworks are less thanks to greater environmental awareness.

Our granddaughter Beatriz (Bia) has gone to the USA with an excursion of young people of her age group of 15 years of age. She is flying from Recife to São Paulo and from there to New York.

Research shows that 83.1% of people in Brazil have water on tap in their houses, but only 55.2% have drains/sewers.

I have just finished preparing sermons for Cedro (12th July) and Princesa Isabel Central (13th July) which will be the induction service for the new pastor there.

Last night we had an excellent meeting with co-pastor Rafael about a variety of pastoral issues. These meetings are important opportunities to share and pray together.

I have finished my résumés of another book of the Bible - the 9th - which is the book of 1st Samuel.
