Affirmation Brazil is rolling up their sleeves to do something in their country to help these people. We are hosting a symposium and inviting other organizations helping the LGBT population on September 25th in São Paulo.
I always wondered why my father, who always encouraged people to go to church, to pray, and to read the scriptures, did not enter the church with others on Sundays. My mom decided to tell us that our dad was gay.
Today I am a person who succeeded in life, for everything I struggled for and sought, I became a confident and determined person. With all that happened, I never lost my faith and spirituality. Today I accept myself. My family accepts me. Most important of all, I built new castles for my life.
Todos nós nos aproximamos da conferência geral à nossa maneira, com base em onde estamos e no que é certo para nós. Isso é entre nós e Deus ou nosso poder superior. Mantenha a mente aberta e permita-se a oportunidade de descobrir algo que você não conhecia antes que fale a verdade para você. A fonte pode surpreendê-lo.

All of us approach general conference in our own way, based on where we are and what is right for us. That’s between us and God or our higher power. Keep an open mind, and allow yourself the opportunity to discover something you didn’t know before that speaks truth to you. The source may surprise you.
Con todo lo que sucedió hasta aquí nunca perdí mi fe y espiritualidad, hoy me acepto, mi familia me acepta y más importante de todo eso construí nuevos castillos para mi vida.
