Johnny's house

Yesterday we went to Johnny's house for lunch.

  I introduced you to Johnny when we were part of the Escola da Vida program a couple of weeks 

ago. He's the leader of YFC in São Luis

and he also pastors a small church in a poor area of  São Luis.

Johnny is married to Fernanda and they have two children - David and Maria Fernanda.

  Lunch was delicious with a torta de frango (chicken pie), beans (feijões), rice (arroz) and salada.

This appears to be a very 'together' family whose company I enjoy a lot.

David was home from school because he attends school in the mornings.

Lidia, Johnny's assistant who you met last week, was there with us as well, and Pat's and my hostesses - Tatiana and Flavya.

 And little Maria Fernanda wasn't keen to have her afternoon nap with all the company in their home.

 Before we left we talked to Johnny about his ministry and challenges in life and then prayed for him and his family. 

The photo isn't very clear, but they loved the koala tea towel and drawstring bag with Australian animals on it that we gave them before we left.

Thanks so much Johnny and Fernanda. It was a special time with you.
