My father did not take in her thought, instead he continued with his, saying \u2018If He takes him, let it be.\u2019 About two weeks after my baptism, my father took me to church and told the minister there, \u2018Pray for this boy, later he will be of use to the church.\u2019 The minister prayed for me and we returned home.
