Hey, I’m Angela (Maria Angela Alves Souza), I’m 16 years old and I rejoined the Family 3 years ago. I was living in Chile, but now I’m living in Brazil. I know what the ~@#%… System is. Actually, I was born in the Family, but my parents left the Family when I was 6 years old. All things work together for good for those who love God, and now I know all that we have, that they don’t (and they actually wish): I have peace, and they don’t (they supposedly find peace bothering us), I have a goal in my life, reach the lost souls in this *@#%!! world, and they don’t. I’m fighting for the Lord and dying day by day for His high work, and they aren’t (they fight against us and try to destroy – impossible job for them – God’s work) And, you know what? I cook, I take care of children, I clean the house, I witness, and I HAVE NOTHING TO COMPLAIN ABOUT!!!!!!! But I’m really thankful for the way that the FGAs that I lived/live with take care of me as their daughter, teach me with patience (actually too much patience) and they help me with a lot of love to get closer to the Lord. (God bless Esperanza and Lucas, John and Amor, my dad, Pablo and Maria, Maggie and Juanfra, Gabriela, John and Sara, Clarita and Elias, Claudia, Rebecca and Vicky, Peter, Stefan, João and Adriana, Hepsi and Jonatas, and the loving Lady – JRteen and SRteen shepherd). If you knew me before, you can tell that I’ve changed.

All this for what? Just to say that I’m in the best place in this world, doing the best thing that I have ever done (because I want to) learning the best things that I can learn, living with the most loving and dedicated people in this planet and working for the best, most loving, friendly, patient, and the all in all: my Lord and Husband JESUS. Nobody is abusing me. Do I have battles? Yeah, of course, but they teach me to fight!!! What are those @##$%^*{>#@ guys doing for me??! They are helping me to be stronger, to see the Lord’s hand in this situation, to prove the Lord’s Words about persecution. But aside from that, they don’t give me food, love, either a house, clothes, schooling, either a hand to help me in hard moments… so I think they better @#$@%$%^&*%^%$#… get into their own problems, make their own families, have their own children (and see how ”easy” it is to take care of them) open their own churches (with they own “perfect religion”) and leave us alone.

For now, I will be praying for them.
