I just talked to Marcos. What a wonderful person and my how sweet he was. I invited them to come visit with us...His kin folks live here in the northeast. A couple states up from us.
He also opened his home to us anytime we are in their area. What a blessings. I love young people...

We are going to send e mails and get better aquainted. I am so happy to get to know someone that is so concerned about others. Thank you so much for giving me their name and number.

Blessings to you and they sent their love to you and those there.

Just got in from church and I was telling our people about Marcos and his work. I preached tonight at a church very close to the city dump here.

Sis Alvear, I received an email today from Marcos. Thought you might be interested in reading what he has to say..........

Hello Margie;

Thanks for putting we and Janice together. She called yesterday at lunch time and it was so good to talk to someone in Brazil who is connected with guys from Swanton. She lives in a distant place here in Brazil, in a city named Maceió. It´s a beatiful place Northeast of Brazil, famous for its beaches. It´s about 1553 miles distant from where we are, and believe me, our roads are not as good as yours. So, the best way is by plane. We have been there once and Michelle really enjoyed the beaches, She wants to come back, maybe that´s a chance and an ecouragement to do so. I guess it won´t take long for meeting eachother. Most of the flights from her city has to pass by Brasília. I told her next time she flies through Brasília, she can call us and maybe we can meet at the airport. Our home is really close to it.

Thanks for connecting both sides;

Marcos e Michelle

I'm glad that the two of you connected. You are both wonderful, caring people. I have a feeling you could work well together for the benefit of the Brazilian people

God bless you both!! Love you!

Margie...YOU are the connecting link...thank you and looking for a wonderful friendship with them. God is good! I do have some business I need to take care of up in that area at some point the Lord willing I (we) will go and meet them personally.

Sister Alvear,

on a whole different note, I just wanted to share this with you......

I went to my Tuesday night Bible Study last night. Afterwards, a bunch of us always go out to eat together. When we got to the restaurant last night, we were barely seated when they started asking me what I had heard about little Sabrina and how she was doing. They've started calling her "little Sabrina" because we have a lady named Sabrina in our church and they don't want to get them confused. They were concerned about her and wanted me to know that every one of them was still praying for her.

I love it when people who don't even know someone feel such a burden to pray for them. If people who didn't even know Walt hadn't been there praying for him during his aneurysm, I honestly believe he would not be here today.

The family of God is a wonderful thing, isn't it!

Sister Alvear · #6 04-08-2009, 08:53 PM

That makes me feel so good and our family deeply appreciates each prayer that is said...Sabrina has blood work the 13th and we are praying and believing all is well.

The love of God is so great and that love reaches down and unites our hearts to pray for one another. Thanks for taking in our family in your all´s prayers. Love you.

Yes, I remember we prayed much for Walt during that time.

Sister Alvear,

you need to let Sabrina know that people around the world were praying for her - people who don't even know her. Let her know that GOD loves her soooo much that He would lay her on the hearts of people entire continents away from her.

Walt was so moved when he realized that. The love of God is pretty amazing isn't it - that it would reach out to a small child in the jungles of Brazil using people all the way in America to be His hands and His feet to her.

But I don't need to tell you any of this

You already know about the heart of God

Yes indeed! We prayed in home friendship group meeting last week for Sabrina. hope she continues to do well.

Sister Alvear · #9 04-08-2009, 09:36 PM

I told her we had had e mails from several different countires...even though she has been so sick we can see how the love of others has been very special to her.

Thank you all for caring so much. Tomorrow I will call her and tell her you all too have been praying. Thanks so much. Love you folks.

Praise God! I would say, "Aren't the people of God wonderful?" except I really think the right think to say is, "Isn't God wonderful to work thru His people the way that He does!"

And what's really fantastic is that He doesn't just lay Sabrina on the hearts of a very few people. Or just on the hearts of people in Ohio. Or in Arkansas or wherever. No way. God works thru His people ALL OVER - all on behalf of Sabrina.

If that isn't true love, I don't know what you would call it!
