Eddie Long now knows the Truth

[Sister Alvear]

We once had a preacher that judged everybody and let it be known he had chosen to be our eyes...lol...(his mistake) He and his family were so holy...our people got where they could not stand him....I often had to correct my children because I would catch them imitating that preacher to each other...."I shall report this to the missionaries...."

However the day came to the delight of many that he failed....and we had a meeting where he would turn in his card....(a custom) Brother Alvear was traveling so I presided at the meeting...I let him tell the people he was turing in his card....At that meeting I was the only one that cried! Soon as he walked out some were so happy he was gone that they were joking and laughing...
One of our little sweet preachers came and sat down beside me and said, "missionary, you are sad...." I said yes, for I was thinking about the good things he had done...not the bad..." Other than being judgmental he was a good helper to me...I always know if Brother Alvear was traveling and I needed someone to do anything he sure would try to help me...

He has been gone from our work for many years but I remain a friend to him and his family. Sad...because most of his children (6) are out of church....they were such sweet kids...
