After God spoke to me “Brazil” I began praying about where in Brazil, and God spoke to me “Porto.” I looked in an atlas to see where Porto was, and I learned that there are several Porto somethings in Brazil, but I didn’t see a plain “Porto.” I needed to know which “Porto” God wanted us to go to, so I began to pray, but I did not hear anything more from the Lord about it. Remembering what God had done with the paper wads when the one that said “Brazil” hopped into the bowl, I decided to try something like that again. Beside me on the end table there was a bowl with a tiny safety pin in it. I decided to toss the safety pin across the room onto an atlas opened to South America, and whatever “Porto” it landed on (if any), that would be the one we would go to.

I tossed the safety pin about 15 feet across the room toward the atlas. It landed on the book, and slid off onto the rug. Then I realized that I had forgotten to pray first. So I rebuked every foul spirit and asked the Holy Spirit to guide the toss. Then I threw the safety pin again. This time when it landed on the atlas it stuck like glue! To give you an idea of what happened, here is a recreation using the same size atlas showing the position of the safety pin after it landed.
