Family Time

We have been in São Luís now since Friday, and we are having a great time with Tassie´s family. São Luís is considerably hotter and more humid than Minas Gerais or Ceará. I have been walking around in shorts most of the time (sorry for the mental image there). This morning I took a shower by using a pan to dip water from a bucket onto my skin. Not very high-tech, but it gets the job done.

Yesterday we were invited to a service at a nearby house. We ended up not going, but we still heard the service anyway. Charasmatics here in Brazil have the curious habit of all praying at once, and accompanying their prayers with various other, non-recognizable noises. I am sure that, if I had participated, an asperin would have been needed.

There is an incredible need in this region for sound, biblical teaching. Please join Tassie and I in praying that God will soon send laborers here.
