My mother went to the priest and said, “I discovered another religion, and I visit the church of these people, and I speak to them about the problems that I have in the Catholic Church. I want to change and have another baptism in this Baptist religion. I wanted to tell you because you’re like a father.”

He replied, “OK. No problem. You can change. I know this religion—Baptist. The only thing I want to say is don’t change for Spiritualism.” 

The Catholics think that Spiritualism followers go to demons. So my mother felt good about speaking with the priest and she started to take us to the Baptist Church. That was the way I learned about the doctrine of the Protestant religion.

I think God saved me from very dangerous situations. For example, once I was on a bus travelling to another state and learned the bus I didn’t take stopped in a place where people with guns made all people go outside of the bus and then they got robbed. They also molested women. A girl who lives near my house was on that bus and she became sick for a long time after that experience. It happened again another time when I could see the hand of God saving me.

I think I have a responsibility to say the things about God that I know for other people who don’t know about God. They don’t know about Jesus. They don’t know about the Bible. So, I think I have a responsibility to speak about this for other people. To share what I have. I think I’ve become a door of God.
