Hi I'm Evandro

Before i was even born, my mother decided to be baptized, so you can say that I was born in the Gospel. When i was around 16 years old something happened between me and my family with some members from the ward and we became inactive. For 4 years i was away from the Church but i have never forgot what i was taught, the only thing i wasn't doing was going to the church every Sunday. One night some missionaries came knocking at my door while me and my mother were in the living room. They said they felt they needed to come to see us and told us that our old chapel was going to re-open. I was extactic with these news. It was the chapel that i grew up, before our ward merged with another one close by. That Sunday i returned to the Church after all those years and it felt like something had filled my heart once again. When the sacramental meeting was over, i went home and as soon as i got there i went straight to my room and prayed. I asked the Lord specifically - "Lord i have just returned to Your chapel and Gospel... what do You require of me now? What is it that You want me to do?" The answer came that very evening. The Branch President that was assinged to this Branch came to my house and he wanted to talk with me. We went to my room and even before i could speak, he handed me a copy of Preach My Gospel - the missionary preparation book. At that moment i felt my question had been answered. At that moment i knew what the Lord wanted me to do. He wanted me to go forth and work in His vineyard. I know this Church and Gospel are true, i know that the Lord does answer our prayers, if done faithfully, and this is my testimony.

I always try to be as active as possible in the church. I am currently the Elders Quorum President (and have been since i was 21 years old) and i am the Seminary Teacher aswell. Since i attend church in a small branch, everyone must do their part so the Branch Pres. doesn't become overloaded with tasks, and it's quite normal for a person to have more than one calling here, but that does not mean we mind having them. For my part i love serving in the church and i have seen that it's when you give from yourself, not just simply what you have, that you can feel the love you have for others, others have for you, and the love our Lord has for all of us.
