I come from a hispanic family who had to move place to place to feed me and my brothers. one older and the other younger. My little brother is a dwarf. He has suffered so much and i have been there; and seen it all happen. like usual my family was waiting for me and my older brother to have the right age to start working. so we can help out in the house expenses. especially the annual taxes, who were on to us so much.

My dad abandoned us when we knew no better what was right or wrong. My mom turned to religion, and met a good man named israel. They married and started working in the fields together to get more money. Soon my mom was a christian believer and so was israel.

One day my little brother could no longer walk. the doctor said he would need lots of surgerys and medication for him to walk again. He was little as it is; suffered much, my parents had to find a way to get that money. She put me and my older brother to work. It was harvesting watermelons and other fruits. So while my stepfather and my brother and i worked in the fields from morning to sunset, my mother stayed home to watch over him.

One day my mom decided to take my little brother to work and she would watch over nim occasionally to see if he was ok. that day would change my life. i remeber being thirsty so i went to go get some water. i started running. suddenly i felt buzzing everywhere. i felt much pain every single place in my body! i knew right away it was the bees that they keep in white boxes in the fields to make honey. they were stinging everywhere mercyless.

i cried for help. and the next thing i saw and heard was my little brother!! being stung unable to walk!! i was in so much pain but i had to get him out of there. thats all what was in my head. the bees had gotten into the open window my mom had left him so he wouldnt be so hot. When i got him out i started praying to god and saying i was sorry for my sins i remember telling my little brother to pray. i carried him on my arms unitl i could no longer walk. i remember i was on the ground with side of face to the ground. i saw and amazing, so beauitful light coming down. it was like a stairway to a bright light. so amazing and i knew i had died. i looked for my little brother. i couldnt see him anywhere.

suddenly i woke up and saw my mom crying praying on her knees. my little brother was crying yeeing "it hurts it hurt" that changed my life. two weeks later i woke up. the first thing i was was my mother i started crying telling her about the light the stairs. it was unexplainable. from that day i have devoted my life to religion. god is real. He loves us all.
