No it is not what you might expect. Annie's baby didn't arrive early, that delivery is not until July. Yesterday, Carlinhos and I took our Juniors class to Carapicuíba (try saying that one with a mouthful!) to deliver the Bible that we bought two weeks ago.

No one has ever offered me money for memorizing verses. However, this will be the first verse that this man has ever memorized. If he does it. It is not a conventional way of doing memory work and it could cost me a bill for nothing. But if God uses this simple chall...
