I really need to confess something

[Sister Alvear]

It is very difficult for me to get hard feelings and even dwell on things for long...However I am considering (no you do not need to write me asking me to leave or stay) but I was am kinda hurt because I felt and feel like Old Paths 11 called me a liar in so many words. I did run a copy of the posts and have let others read his words and up to this point everyone that I have let read what was written said almost the same words to me. (it seemed the same to them that I was not telling the truth)

I just want everyone to know no matter what I decide I have NEVER told a story about Brazil or anything else for that matter that was a lie...If I misunderstood or misquoted I may have made an honest mistake. Such as my sweet friend Renda showed me a mistake that I corrected. The way my house is so full of people running in and out (just ask Sherri) it is easy to type something and make a mistake or read something so fast and get the wrong meaning...HOWEVER for me to tell a happening and it not be true is not my personality.

That is why I pasted some things and got an infractions for cutting and pasting from my book because I wanted OP 11 to point out a lie...

Anyway, if anyone has hard feelings toward me I ask your forgiveness...It has always been my desire to help people get a first hand look into the life and doings of a missionary. In fact that is why our home is always open and many over the years have come to get the real feeling of missionary life.

We may not be the typiclal missionary family since my husband is not American and many Americans tend to live the American way at their homes. Nothing wrong with that. We tend to live with and among the people and I know some of that is due to the fact my family is Brazilian.

However being in our home gives a person a first hand glimpse of what being a missionary is all about.

I am a missionary by calling and by choice...I love being a missionary...
