The last week I spent in Portugal the weather was at the hottest I have experienced for a long time. You must have heard the news of the catastrophic forest fire that caused the death of over 60 people in just one area. A sort of dramatic ending to my trip which left many memories: I visited my home town of Penacova, a beautiful village which you may find if you care to Google it, and spent time with my old friend in the Douro region, yes, where the famous Port wine is produced. Beautiful place, just too bad I was there for only two days. Most of my friends remember me for singing and playing in a band back in the late 60s, in Mozambique. From now on, \u00a0they will have a different memory of me, as I left every single one of them, a sample of our Portuguese audio Bible, where, of course, I am the narrator. Of the 20 Portuguese Audio Bibles I brought with me I shared 16 with a personal touch. I also was able to share some very touching and deep conversations with my sister, who all of a sudden had a week or so of improved health. Her situation overall remains critical, but we shared about the Lord, sin, forgiveness and overall she seems to be at peace with God. I was very busy back and forth between visiting with friends and relatives and taking care of important family business. I did feel blessed and supported by your prayers. Besides, I carried with me everywhere I drove, an audio Bible that constantly played the Word – beautiful!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
