[Sister Alvear]

We are in a city called Barra da Corda, a city next to the lower basin of the Amazon jungle. They are having their first convention. It is so sweet and last night we had 10 or more to receive the Holy Ghost. A real break through. Last Sunday our son baptized 11 including an indian lady from one of near by tribes. Last night another indian couple came and prayed. We were able to give each of them a Bible in their own language. It was so sweet.

We have been in 2 powerful conventions in less than a month and are now in this one and from here we will travel another 700 miles or so on up to the state of Para for their convention.

Today is our 40th wedding anniversary....I can think of no better way to spend the day other than in the presence of the Lord with a group of sweet people.

We are also blessed that Sister Carla our son's first convert came for convention. She and her husband live in another state and just last Sunday she too conducted the first baptismal service in her state!

Today our son Michael is preaching to the young people our daughter in law Marcela is preaching to the ladies and tonight Brother Alvear preaches in the main service....what a day of sweet glory we will have...
