I was four years old, when I first heard A voice in my heart; my spirit told me that was the voice of God. Since then I was skeptical of searching how to live my life to please Him. At the age of eight I did my first communion and received the gospel through catechism from an old lady teacher. She gave me my first lessons and I passed the test and received my sacrement. When I was 14 years old, by professing my christianity, one of my classmate who was a christian protestant told me that I was not at the right side of the Lord; since I was not reading the bible regularly, he showed me some scriptures about the statues in the church and the rosary prayer that were wrong. After I decided to search for the real deal, I started to learn from different denominations. In september 2001 I was baptized in the First Haitian Baptist Church, in Gretna Louisiana, since then I was engaged in church ready to learn from the Holy Spirit with the grace of God. This lady, her name is Sarilia Francois, she is married to the bible, and I decided to follow her footstep; that is exactly what I did and continue to do, the bible became my best friend. Last thing I met a woman who is a believer from the Jehovah witness, because of the love we feel for each other; we were engaged and got married, as always they excelled my challenges. I became obsessed with studying and researching about the bible, my destiny has changed forever!
