Sunday Funday November 17

November 15th is Republic Day in Brazil, and they also have Independence Day on September 7th. I think we need to have July 4th as well as June 19th for our Independence Days--as it wasn't until 1865 all people were actually free in America.

Prayers and Praises

Praises that Rachel C. made it safe to the USA—on the right flight that we wrote down the wrong day for:).

Praises that we were able to have Taco Tuesday again after almost two months of hiatus.

Prayers for our friend Zezinho, who is waiting for surgery for kidney issues.

Praises for getting to share and translate the “Pineapple Story” in Portuguese at our women’s meeting.

The old me who was untouched by the reality of humiliation and stress. I miss the old idealistic me.”
