(More) Brazilian friends


Leticia is from Rio, working as a presenter for CVC A Sua Voz, the Christian Vision Portuguese station in Miami. They broadcast on shortwave to the whole of Brazil. They are also on the internet (www.radiocvc.com). She is receiving lots of letters, emails and SMSs, as listeners respond to her popular shows. Leticia is the first person we met at Vineyard Rio church and we became good friends over the time we were in Rio. Spending time together over these three weeks is very special for me.

This is another Brazilian presenter, Elaine, with her son, Filipe, and Leticia. Elaine is from Goias State in the centre of Brazil, where the nation's capital, Brazilia is situated. It was her car's sixth anniversary on this day!


When we went to Bayside on Saturday, Leticia took me to a place where they make the best Pina Coladas in the whole world - or so she says! Actually it was pretty good and just the thing for a lazy afternoon in downtown Miami. The building on the far right is the Hard Rock Cafe, which used to have an enormous guitar on the top. However, Hurricane Katrina whisked it away, never to be seen again. Throughout the whole area of southern Florida, roof repairs are still taking place following the damage resulting from Katrina. They should be finished just in time for this summer's hurricane season!
