I am sending this email from the Lummi Island corner store. This is a little different than the corner stores in our neighborhood in Marabá. Here there are no bars on the doors. You can walk right in. They even have free wireless internet, which clocks at 3 Mb/s, several times faster than what we considered “very good”. I have been given the gift of a week of solitude on this Island in the Pacific Ocean, just off the coast of Washington. The first two days I was completely exhausted. Yesterday I walked around the Island, about 7 miles or so. Almost everyone that drove past me waved and smiled. I think rural communities are the friendliest place on earth. I saw two seals, some deer and a bald eagle. My favorite time is sitting by the fireplace looking out the window at the drizzling rain.

I am completely impressed with how beautiful and well organized Canada and the United States are. There are very many sincere, godly people praying and doing their best to live right before God, and there have been many people like this since the foundation of these countries. 

Bible Story about a National Revival

May God give us another spiritual awakening like he did in the days of Hezekiah. 2 Chronicles 30:6-12.
