Honor Where Honor is Due
Yesterday I recieved and e-mail from one of our fellow missionaries here, which read in part:
We, the Mid-Brazil Field of Baptist Mid-Missions, congratulate Harold Reiner on being received as an honorary citizen of Remanso. In an age where there are anti-American feelings, it is especially noteworthy for an American to receive such an award.
The e-mail went on to say
As far as we know, this is the first time one of our colleagues has received this honor. We know that there is a street in Juazeiro do Norte named after Guy McLain.
That happens to be the road I live on--which means I get strange looks from people when asked to give my street address. Nobody here knows how to spell "McLain".

It was so great to see Harold's picture and his award by the city of Remanso. He is so deserving. The Lord has blessed him with long life and service there in Brazil.
