On the base here we have cashew trees, i really dislike the fruit but i love cashew nuts!! so I roasted some. Loads of hard work for not many nuts, but it was fun!!

Things are going well with the construction of our 4, one bedroom apartments . all the walls are up and we have almost finnished the concrete beams above all the walls. and the apprentice is doing Very well!!

This weekend we where involved in carnival, 350 people joined us on the base. We did dances and dramas, and saw loads of colorful costumes. we also had a focus on protesting against human trafficking and some fire breathing!

In Joao Pessoa they have very strong chickens!!

Two weeks ago we went to a city, Joao Pessoa, which is about an hour away, to visit some friends of ours. We had a great time with them!! They showed us around the city and the YWAM base there. On the base they have even more fruit than us!! we had fresh juice made from avocados, which i didn't like much! but i did like the chilled coconut milk we had. Thanx Nish and Bell for looking after us so well!!!

when it rains the big snails come out!

We are just of to carnival for the last time! Hopefully things will get back to normal soon!

this pretty little moth seems to like tangled hair

there are always smelly, skinny, sick looking horses hanging around the base.

Today is our wedding anerversary, and we are off to the cinema and then to eat Italian! I still love her very much!

Tonight when we were coming home, I heard someone shout my name for across the road, it took me a second to figure out the caller, but as soon as it clicked I ran to Chris ( the boy that vanished last week) who was standing at the bus stop opposite the base. That he had called out meant that I could approach and his smile invited me to ask if I could give him an abraco, a hug, he nodded and I hugged him so tightly and whispered that we had missed him. He told us that he had come to get his papers to go to school next week. I'm so happy that we got to see him, show him that we miss him, but I'm more happy that he is off the streets and he still wants to go to school. Please pray with us that he continues in this right track, and we can keep contact with Chris. Thank you God.
