Message from Norah

Hi everyone,

So happy to be here, and meet these wonderful, kind friendly people. We have had so much love from them, that it can make you feel inadequate, but they make us feel so special.

Weather is awful and cold, and today it is raining. The forecast is better over the next few days, but we are still happy while serving others.

I have been able to cut hair for the people of the favelas yesterday, and I will go back to the island Wednesday and cut hair there. My heart went out to an old lady called Margarida, she looked 78 but was only 58. She was thin, hungry, depressed, and lived in a dirty little room.

We spent time with her, sang to her and prayed. Then she agreed to come to church in the evening, so I went to pick her up and she had done her hair, changed her clothes and put some perfume on to come to church. The ladies from the church said she had never let anyone in her little shack before.. but she let us in and shared so much with us. She was outside waiting to go to church later that day. How cool is that!

The service was packed with kids teenagers, and the poorest of people who came because we had visited them earlier and showed them love.

God bless you all,
Love
Norah x
