Today my house is running over with people...our church is providing free eye tests for people of our village and church people. I think at least 50 people or more ate dinner at my house. One of the church sisters said, Missionary what are we going to cook?
We didn´t have a lot but had one chicken and a couple of other peices that I had saved from yesterday...so we prayed over what we had and the Lord stretched our rice and beans and chicken....everyone ate!
What a mighty God we serve...

This is our convention week, we start convention tonight...and we already have some to baptise and this week God has been filling different ones with the Holy Ghost. God is so good. I just sat and wept and wept yesterday as I thought of what God has done here in Brazil. So many lives have been changed and blessed. Thank you homeland friends for helping us missionaries. We could never do what we do without your help. Blessings and love to you all.

Sis Alvear, I am so thrilled to hear what is going on in Brazil.
Those free eye tests as well as being a good thing for the people, it is also a tremendous outreach tool.
