Getting ready to travel soon

[Sister Alvear]

Dearest Friends:
Our trip to the state of Para approaches so fast…As we get older time seems to fly! Not only do we plan to go to Para to help Missionary Mar and Sister Lori we plan to visit our little group in the city of Belem. We are so happy they are moving up there…Long have we prayed for someone to penetrate that area of Brazil.
We also plan on visiting the work in Fortaleza and Maranhao on this trip. We will be traveling thousands of kilometers in many dangerous and interior areas. We know the grueling of such long hard primitive trips and we are no longer young. Yet we are going on this trip to help point the way to these younger ones that will follow in our footsteps.
There is still a lack of financial means and I would like to encourage you if possible to help us in any way you can. We would deeply appreciate your help.
I want to applaud you precious folks who have continued to support us even in these economically difficult times. It shows your compassionate and giving hearts. I am so proud that we have friends who look beyond their own needs to see to the needs of others. This has touched my heart. I am so blessed to have you for a friend and prayer partner.
We have been so encouraged with souls coming to the Lord and new people in various areas of Brazil taking on the precious name of Jesus.
We request your prayers, for our protection, health and for some decisions that we will be making. We are thankful for the time that you dedicate to our favor in prayer and your faithful economic support that allows us to stay in this place as representatives of the gospel. My prayer is that God blesses you rich and generously.
Together We Serve the Risen Savior
