Oi from Santo Antonio,
This is our second and final day in this village. We started at 9:00 a.m, with Woman's Ministry, VBS and more medical and dental services, along with fitting villagers for eye glasses.
We saw our first dolphins today off the shore.
One of the villagers a woman named Sebastione (Saba) showed us her home and garden which was quite impressive. She then took us on a short hike into the jungle to the field where they grow Maniok, they pull the roots and grind it into powder. We saw Brazil nut trees, banana trees and cashew trees. Who knew nuts grew on trees! She was so kind to us, we later shared the Gospel of Jesus with her, which she graciously accepted, praise God! Today there were many more divine appointments that we will be able to tell you about after we arrive home.
We had a short service in the village at the close of today. There was so much joy. The children sang and danced to 2 of the VBS songs that they learned. The parents really enjoyed seeing what the children had learned about. The team also sang songs in Portuguese. Pastor Abimeal invited people to come forward if they wanted to receive Christ at the end of service and about 15 adults and children came forward. We prayed over them.
Tomorrow will be our last day visiting a village, only half day. It's hard to believe that our trip will be over after tomorrow and we'll all be heading back home. We've all had such an amazing time and can't wait to share all the other stories you haven't heard yet. God Bless all who've been praying for us! Obrigada (Thank you!)
Boa Noite! (Good-night)
