Pastor Moiséis -- Residency

Pastor Moiséis got his residency card a couple of months ago, but due to the procedures in immigration, the cards for his wife and two sons went through a separate process. Their cards were finally delivered last week. It took 7 months, but we're thankful it took ONLY 7 months...many cases take years.

Aid to Flood Victims

The total gifts received to aid victims of the February flooding come to approx. €7000. I don't have the "exact change" at hand. We had learned of three families who lost everything whom we could help by buying basic furnishings and appliances. I am to meet Wednesday with an official of the municipal government of Câmara de Lobos to check the current status of these cases.
