Summary

This life story is about the time I spoiled my Christian life and as well about what I saw in a dream. I said “yes” in 1974 when I was married and in 1957 when I was baptized. I promised to become a follower of Christ.

I took my first Holy Communion in 1965 but, brothers and sisters, I wasn't a man to follow Christ's customs too well. I was in the habit of thinking too much about the customs of the ground and was a man of sin. In 1975, I was given a sign by Father God above.

I had a present God had given me but I didn't watch over this present well.

The present God had given me was a child, a daughter named Martwina Kolly.

Father God above took back this daughter with his own hand. But in 1977 he gave me back this present. He gave it to me back with his own hand. He gave me back another daughter who looked just like the one he had taken from me. In 1975, I was in the habit of fooling and fighting around. It was during this year, during 1975, that I ruined my Christian life and my Holy Communion.

And I took a second wife and I stayed with her. And I lived with both her and my first wife.
