In our home group Bible reading tonight, Dona Ritinha's two daughters came and mentioned that she was on the verge of deciding to be baptized. Vicki had taught her the gospel, and she also sat in on the study with her daughter Fernanda. So we're glad to see some movement of hers in the direction of a decision. They mentioned she might wait until our return to Brazil in September, but Vicki told them that when she decided to obey, she should do it without delay. Pray that she will indeed make the decision.
Tonight was a busy night. At 6:30 p.m., Sr. Benedito came for supper and stayed for the Bible reading. He's an elderly Christian, widowed, and has been a great encouragement to many. Then we had our reading from Hebrews 5.11-6.20. Afterwards, I drove Sr. Benedito home, since our bus service at night out our way isn't so good. When I got back we still had people at the house, and we did some counseling. They finally left about 11 p.m. So that was 4 1/2 hours straight of interaction with people. Not terribly unusual for here.
Tansy went to the hospital today with high blood pressure. Doctor has her resting until Monday. Looks like labor will be induced sometime early, how early yet to be seen. So little Eden may be arriving before we make it to Tenn.
