<div><span>We took another route to Pacajá this week. This took us through 10 hours of ranch lands. It felt so good to be out here. We really want to plant churches in the interior. We have learned that to plant churches that last, we need to start in the city center that these people relate to, which is why we are in Marabá right now.</span></div>
<div><span><br /></span></div>
<div><span>There was a pig hanging in the restaurant where we stopped for lunch. The pig was on the supper menu for that day. The owner/waitress came to our table to serve us, &#8220;Go into the kitchen and fill up your plates.&#8221; Options in the different pots on the two stoves included fried beef, stew, fish, beans, and rice.</span></div>
<div><span><br /></span></div>
<div><span>We got a glimpse of a slower pace of life than the one we live here in the city.</span></div>
<div><span><br /></span></div>
<div><span>I had a great sense of wellbeing, of God&#8217;s presence in the car, and His desire to show us delightful things in His Kingdom.</span></div>
