Day one: Third Community: Sagrado Coração de Jesus {Sacred Heart of Jesus}
Night Mass in Sagrado Coração de Jesus 
Derek doing the parish notices. I was the celebrant at this Mass. The blackboard is an indicator that the church is also used as a Sunday School for those preparing for the reception of the Sacraments.
The home of Moses & Roberta and their three sons. This is where we stayed overnight. The window was the room I "tried" to sleep in.
Before we went to bed the mother was preparing the beds she let out a shout. I did not understand what she said, but it started all hands in a hunt around the house, not too unlike hunting a mouse in a house at home. The culprit was caught. It was long insect with about 50 legs and it ran around the house as fast as a mouse would run. But in the end a shoe got the better of it and it ended up out in the yard to be fought over by the hens. It turned out that is was very dangerous and very venomous to humans. That was the last thing I needed to hear before setting off to bed in a house in the middle of the Amazon Forest country.
The eldest son had already put the wind up in me by telling me not to go outside during the night as the dogs were loose and they were keeping guard against an "Onça Pintada" that was loose in the area. An "Onça" to you and me is a Panther or Jaguar, a large cat. There was no going outside to the toilet for me this night!!! Thankfully they had indoor plumbing.
Dawn over the Amazon Forest.
This was a boat engine which has been adapted for many uses:
1] Electricity generator and it charged the batteries for lights and TV at night time.
2] Corn Grater for chicken feed.
3] Coffee grinder
4] Water pump
5] "Mandioca" Grinder {Mandioca is a root similar to a potato, but is a root of a tree!}
6] Cleaned Rice
