Last night was very stormy here. We could hear the most amazing rain and the wind howling around our little roundhouse, and rattling the windows. I was laying in bed in awe of the power of God, for the first time I understood a little the fear of the Lord. I also realised how hard it must be to live in a favela house, with no glass in the windows (although some of them do have glass in the windows).

Didn't realise till we had the Mission Prayer Meeting on Sunday that you were able to keep your blog up to date so regularly. Have caught up now. It's brilliant, in fact hard to believe you are so far away. Never posted on a blog before - not sure what to do next - here goes. Love Dave and Anne

Have just looked at video, what a culture shock! But kids seem to be the same everywhere! How does the little guy in the orange shorts control the ball like that with bare feet?!
Hope you're all ok, & Gideon is keeping up the drumming!
Let me know if you want me to post art/craft stuff Beckie.
Love to you all,
Pauline (& Stephen)
