Elder Makoa Freitas parabéns por tudo que você conquistou até aqui, que o Senhor te abençoe sempre mais ! Já tive dificuldade em entender que o meu ritmo de aprendizado deve ser constante ao perseverar em tudo é para o meu crescimento espero finalmente ter aprendido . Também tive dificuldade em aprender que o Pai Celestial pode interromper o que estou fazendo para me abençoar e eu tenho que estar preparada pra isso e saber como devo proceder ou eu vou ficar sempre para trás ouvindo os Seus conselhos até o dia que conseguir entender o quanto me ama em pequenas porções. Muito obrigado!
