A beautiful day in the country!

Gilvane is a new special friend that Samuel and I went to visit with today at his house in the country. This is a pineapple plant that we are posing in front of, it reminded me of missionary stories that I used to listen to, and now I am where the pineapples grow! Gilvane and his wife are quite involved in ministry and they have beautiful hearts! It was a special time together.

This oven in the photo is a common site in the rural areas. Not only do they burn wood to cook with, but there is a special coil inside the brickwork that heats the water in the house so that they have hot water in the showers and at the kitchen sink. Its simple and yet sophisticated at the same time, and a favorite place to gather to spend time having coffee and visiting with friends and family.


Its amazing how just leaving the city for a short while can make such a big difference in how you feel. Thank you Jesus for old friends and new ones!
