A dear friend

Last week the woman for whom Beto had been praying a lot passed away from stomach cancer. He met her family through his ex landlord, who was her sister. About 2 hours before she died Beto had gone to pray for-with her and her famiy. When he came home to tell me about it he said it was a very powerful time full of the Holy Spirit. About two minutes later he got the phone call that she had just passed. The next night we went to the viewing, which I´d never been to . the house was packed and overflowing to outside, and I asked Beto, ¨Where were all these family and friends when she was so sick?¨ It was pretty quiet. Most dressed in black, tons of flowers, they served a little plate of rice and a piece of white bread and some hot pineapple cider. It was assumed that no one would talk much, just sat in silence staring at each other or the floor. OUTside there was the sound of happy children playing. Beto was given permission to say some words about her and her family and give a message of hope, then pray with and for the family and then they prayed for him. It was very special. It was obvious she was loved by many and known by different kinds of people...there were very rich and very poor, very old and very young, believers and non. It´s a blessing to know that Beto had such an important part in giving her up to the Lord and seeing her at peace.
