Healing is Finished
I was done. The healings received included the shingles, my heart, and my eyes from macular degeneration. My memory, my prostrate and my asthma were all improved helping me to feel great. What remained of our time passed quickly. I enjoyed walking around and taking pictures of all of the different colors of flowering trees that were in bloom. I picked out some small gifts to take to family and friends. I had gathered some things that I enjoyed. There was an old man selling cashews in front of his wife’s clothing store. They were fresh roasted and good. There was younger man that walked the street with a bag of these tiny little peanuts roasted in the shells. They had an incredible flavor about six times as much as you could expect for something so small. I also got two potatoes that had an unusually sweet flavor. There were also some chocolate bars at the gift shop of the casa that were made without milk or sugar and they were incredibly good. The sweetener was a native plant called yancun. I got several to take with me.
I came to a small shop of crafts that were made by a family of natives from the area. I was immediately captivated by the workmanship and colors. Everything was made of shells and bones and feathers and stones and seeds all tied and laced and braided into some very beautiful ornaments, earrings and headbands and rattles. As I picked through a display of ear dangles all made from the most intricately tied feathers, thinking to get some for my wife, my spirit helper said, “Put those back, those are an endangered species. You’ll never get them through customs.”
That was my first thought about customs so I decided to listen and I put them back and picked out a necklace made of bright red seeds that was tied in a repeating pattern. The woman who made the necklace showed me the pods the seeds came from that looked like a type of locust tree. It was one of the few things that didn’t have a least some feathers on it so I bought it.
I went back and finished packing for the return trip. The trip from Brazil was uneventful but you fly for a long ways without seeing any lights until you get to what I recognized as Venezuela. Then you finally land in Atlanta. When you are on the plane they give you a custom declaration form. When I saw what was on it I had a quick discussion with my spirit helpers. I told them that they didn’t tell me about anything but the feathers so it was their fault and they had to take care of customs.
I marked down that I didn’t have any plants or agricultural items and no foodstuffs. I had to wait until the bags showed up and then when I had my stuff I stood looking at which custom line was the shortest. As I stood there a customs agent walked up, opened a new booth and waved for me to come over. I walked up and handed my form to the agent. He took the form without looking at it, put it in the drawer and waved me to go on through without a question. I went through and out but had to wait for Maurah to get all of her stuff past the gate, which she did.
One interesting thing that happened on the way out of Atlanta as we went through security, I had to go through the body scanner. I was wearing the rosary around my neck outside of my shirt. I glanced over at the readout screen of the scanner and my whole chest was a glow of light surrounding the cross of the rosary. The security people did not say one thing and waved me through. I have continued to use the rosary and say the Hail Mary whenever I need help. It has not let me down.
