the day before yeterday we went to the home of Zenaide in a favella. She also took us briefly to introduce us to her sisters and brother who all live very close together. Her brother is a sick man; he is an alcoholic and has other addictions; he had a stroke a while ago. He spends his days sitting on his bed in an basement room with no natural light and mould all over the walls. I cannot get this poor man out of my mind; please pray for him that he will come to accept the peace of Christ in his heart and that he will know Gods love for him.
On our daily bus journey I have met two young school boys going home from school. I cannot converse with them but they have been delighted to receive a wrist band saying Jesus ama me (which should be Jesus me ama! trust the /brits to get it wrong!) Jesus loves me. And I am thrilled to get a wave from them as we leave the bus!!!
There has been heavy rain during the night again and its quite chilly today. So much for the factor 50 sun cream, a must have with you !!
thank you so much for your prayers and texts, we really value your support. Val
