You are fooling us.
You said that we can talk to the Holy Spirit.
As what I know, the Holy Spirit cannot be seen.
But why are you talking behind our backs?
That's not the Holy Spirit.
I always tell myself that the Catholic Church is the true religion.
In fact, a lot of my friends and neighbors invited me.
My cousin's pastor brought me to their house.
Sister, can we invite you to our church?
First, go back to Matthew 16 and 18.
Matthew 16 and 18?
That's not literal.
That's right. It's not literal.
It's literal and spiritual.
Explain to us what that means.
Okay, we'll leave now.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
But one time, my son, Brad Christian, came home.
Suddenly, he sat next to us watching TV.
What are you doing?
My head hurts because of you.
Why did you move that?
Get rid of that.
But what I noticed, even though I was annoyed,
this is like a different class.
The next day, I looked for it.
I liked the question,
That's why, since then, I had a void in my heart.
We stopped going to Rosario and Pagnurina.
I stopped going to the church to light a candle.
I stopped everything.
Until one night,
the priest told me to attend the Life in the Spirit seminar.
Good evening.
Close your eyes.
Listen to what the Holy Spirit is saying to us.
Close your eyes.
When the light was turned off and someone was talking behind us,
which I couldn't understand,
I turned around.
When I turned around, everyone was sitting.
There were people talking behind us.
Inside me, I said,
Why is it like that?
The Holy Spirit cannot be seen, right?
Why didn't you continue the seminar?
You're fooling us.
You said that the Holy Spirit will talk to us.
As what I know, the Holy Spirit cannot be seen.
But why are there people talking behind us?
That's not the Holy Spirit.
Susan, the Life in the Spirit seminar is not for you
because you're a very strong woman.
You're still fooling us.
Brad Ely invited me to watch a Bible exposition in the RG Building.
When I went there, everyone was lined up.
I wanted to ask questions, but I couldn't.
It doesn't matter. There were already a lot of people asking questions.
I got goosebumps because
the answers were similar to what we do in the church.
When the doctrine invited me, my son said,
Mom, I heard there's a doctrine. Come, let's go.
We went there every night.
I was about to cry.
I said, Why?
I've been a Catholic for a long time.
I've been working in the church for a long time.
I just can't cry no matter what song I sing,
especially when I pray.
I said, it feels so good.
Now, brothers and sisters,
who among us is ready to receive baptism?
Please raise your right hand.
I didn't raise my hand,
but I was decided that I wanted to go.
Because on the last day of the doctrine,
there were a lot of obstacles for you.
It's like there were no obstacles for me,
so I decided not to raise my hand.
When I joined the Church,
the reunion of our clans was always held at home
because my birthday is December 25.
Hello?
Hello!
Where's Susan?
When is our reunion today?
She's not here.
Don't cry to Susan.
I think her brain is broken.
The worst thing is that
I became a guarantor for the cheques that I owe.
At first, my husband's money ran out.
Then, I became a guarantor for the cheques that I owe.
But it didn't pay off.
Everything went to waste.
I cried to God.
No one knew.
I said, Lord, help me.
We had a screening at the Local Congregation of Sukat.
I joined the Servants Ministry in 2001.
When I got off the bus at 5 p.m.,
the car was gone.
I thought that Brad might have just taken it.
It was at his house.
My love,
our car was stolen.
Huh? What happened?
I don't know.
When I got off the bus, the car was gone.
I told you to get out of there.
Think about it.
We caused a lot of trouble.
Get out of there.
When he told me to get out of there,
I felt happy inside.
That's why I came to America.
I worked there.
I paid off all my debts.
I was also destined.
God has mercy on me.
I was able to perform in a choir.
Sometimes, I was able to report on UNTV.
I always think about what Brother Eli said.
Who among you will be affected if you are not careful?
My bosses are always kind to me.
So, I was able to pay off my debts.
I was able to work properly.
As a servant,
I was also destined to go to America.
Hawaii, Reno, Las Vegas, Nevada, Seattle, Washington.
SF Bay Area.
God has mercy on me.
I was able to invite Brad.
Before he was allowed to rest, he became a group servant.
My son, Brad Christian,
he was in the MCGI production.
My son, Sistina,
she was in Guam with her husband.
I am Susan Gutierrez.
And this is the story of my faith.
