2 New Living Waters Classes Jan- April, 2015
Dear family and friends,
It’s been awhile since we connected with you. We are well inside 2015. I don’t know how your new year is starting out but we are now going into week 8 of our Living Waters program. We are running a group on Sunday mornings and a second group on Tuesday nights. ( The picture of the group above is the Sunday morning group.)
It’s rainy season here in Brazil. The upside of that is the temperature has dropped and we are much more comfortable. The downside of that is that sometimes laundry takes a few days to dry. As I write this update, I have been attempting to dry some shorts for 4 days. Another downside of rainy season is that Brazilians regard rain like Canadians regard hail. They avoid going out in the rain. Why ? Well, it’s simple. Rain makes them cold, and sometimes they get sick as a result of the change in temperature. Health care and health remedies here are unlike those we enjoy in first world countries, so getting sick is more complicated here and holds more risk. Hence their aversion to the rain. For some of our participants, their mode of transportation is bicycle. Could you pray that it doesn’t rain here on Sunday mornings and Tuesday nights for the next 12 weeks. Rain is a significant deterrent to our classes.
Living Waters Canada, incidentally, has just passed through a lengthy process of changing its name to Journey Canada. So if you’re enquiring about this ministry, you will now find them under this name.
