Our 38th Wedding Anniversary!
I did some typing in the morning and then we went to the market for some copies, envelopes, groceries, and misc. stuff. We found a flea market and bought an original pottery pomegranate as our anniversary souvenir. Just as we were leaving to go home we saw Amanda, one of Gavriel's daughters. We had wanted to get some flowers for the Shabbot table that evening, but were afraid they would wilt before we got them home so when we saw her, we went with her to the flower shop and picked out a bouquet and sent it home with her. We were elated that it had worked out. Only later that evening did we find out that most of the family is allergic to flowers - so much for our 'great' idea! How often does that happen in our missionary outreach? We try and sincerely reach out, but blunder our way along for lack of knowledge.
We did have a wonderful evening again, sharing the Shabbot meal with our friends. There was another Brazilian Jewish young man that joined us, too. Got home about midnight.
