And you do that for your grandparents, uncles, aunts, and father and mother. And he didn't bless me that day. And he said, why you did that? He was angry. And I was like, why I did what? And then suddenly he said, you made my family without my permission. And I understood what he was talking about. And I said, Dad, I'm sorry. I didn't know that you didn't know.

It was Uncle Lucas and Pedro who wanted me to meet them. And you have a beautiful family. And then he interrupted me and said, neither you or my brothers had the permission to get involved in my life. You have to understand you're a mistake in my life. And I am 14 years old. Those are crushing words. And yeah, so if you ask me, what is the worst poverty that I have gone through?

That is the worst poverty. Again, I learned how to deal with my broken shoes, with lacking school uniform, lacking food, but how can I deal with the reality of my father thinking that I was a mistake? The reality, Candice, and that's the reason I said at the beginning, there's a lot of blaming in poverty. But nobody gave me a menu to be born where I was born. I was just born.

I was born in the reality that I was born.

I was born in the reality that I was born.

I was born in the reality that I was born.

And yet my father think that I am a mistake. And I do remember I run away crying, crying, crying, and spend days crying and angry. I was angry at my father. I was struggling in my faith. I didn't understand God, like how God is a good father. The Bible speak about God being a good father, but my father hates me.

Yeah. And that's why many people, and I did, blame God because of the sufferings they're going through. And I was in that spot. I was... I was thinking like, why? I didn't choose this. And anyways, I got this letter from Jamie and this is maybe the most important letter in my life from Jamie.

We take for granted words of encouragement. You said at the introduction, this podcast is for you. And we live in a moment that we take that for granted. Like some people might feel, oh yeah, that's nice. They don't actually realize this is an effort put to serve them actually. That's an example to say sometimes when we grew up in a stable environment, we take that stability for granted.
