Why is this happening?

[Sister Alvear]

The Landless Movement (Movimento dos Sem-Terra--MST)
They stir up all kinds of marches, block roads etc...

yes, they can be very dangerous. Sometimes they block the roads asking (demanding) money we always give them some.

[Sister Alvear]

Down here they block the roads over anything...especially here in the north.

[pelathais]

The important thing is that the kids sure seem to be having a good time.

[Evangeline]

All this looks so awful, but then you wonder if God won't use it for His glory somewhere! ??? I am so thankful for the ministry that you have there. I would love to someday come down there and be a participant in what you are doing. Have you ever had anyone come from the outside (someone single, unmarried and a Christian) who just wants to come and help with whatever she can?

[Sister Alvear]

yes, many times

[Sister Alvear]

The important thing is that the kids sure seem to be having a good time.


that was so sweet...kids are so pure.

[Sherri]

They do this exact same thing in Africa all the time - burning tires in the road. I wonder why? But that's exactly how they do roadblocks over there. Weird! I'll be praying for your safety.

(This is another one of those threads that I'm NOT going to let Eddie see. LOL!)

[Sister Alvear]

yeah, don´t show him..ha...

[Margies3]

Good grief! First you are sick and worry us. And now you're living in a war zone so we're worrying.

Sis Alvear, we have an extra bedroom that's not in use right now if you and your sweet husband would like to come and stay and get medical treatment and away from the war!............... I say this in jest because I know you'll never do it. But in all seriousness, the offer would always be open for you.

[Sister Alvear]

Thanks. I do appreciate the offer so much. I do not have any type medical insurance that would work in the states...I am a foreigner there....ha....

I sent over 1000 bucks on things this week...and I do have a type insurance here!

[Cindy]

Praying for y'all to be safe, in Jesus name.
