DAVID LAWYERMAN HAD RETURNED FROM ITALY WHERE, TOGETHER WITH BRAZILIAN SOLDIERS, HE PARTICIPATED IN WORLD WAR II.\N\NVERY FEARING GOD, DAVID PARTICIPATED IN THE WAR TOGETHER WITH ABOUT 25,000 BRAZILIAN SOLDIERS, WENT THROUGH BAD TIMES BUT, ALWAYS KEEPING IN MIND THE WORDS OF HIS GOD: DID NOT KILL ANY ENEMY. HE WENT, PARTICIPATED AND RETURNED FROM THE WAR WITHOUT EVEN FIRING.\N\NHE KEPT IN HIS BELONGINGS A HOLY BIBLE THAT HE GAINED FROM HIS FATHER WHEN HE BOARDED THE ITALIAN FIELD.\N\NHE MARRIED ADRIANA AND RETURNED TO HIS HOMETOWN, ATTENDED HIS CHURCH THAT OPERATED IN A SMALL TEMPLE IN A NEIGHBORHOOD KNOWN AS LITTLE CROSS SAINT.\N\NEVERY WEDNESDAY AND SUNDAY, ALONG WITH HIS WIFE ADRIANA, HE WENT TO CHURCH, SANG HIS HYMNS AND GAVE HIS PRAISE. MARRIED IN 1946, TWO YEARS LATER THE FIRST HEIR ARRIVED, A BOY NAMED MARK. \N\NMARK LIVED, LIKE DAVID, UNDER THE PROTECTION OF GOD. SEEING HIM GROW UP ALONE, DAVID AND ADRIANA DECIDED TO GET A LITTLE BROTHER FOR HIM. IN FACT, EXACTLY ONE YEAR AFTER THE BIRTH OF MARK, THE ARRIVAL CAME NOT FROM A BROTHER, BUT FROM A PRINCESS NAMED REBECCA. \N\NWHEN RETURNING FROM THE WAR DAVID GOT TO STUDY LAW, BUT AFTER A FEW YEARS IN THIS POSITION, HE WAS NOT CHARMED BY LAW AND DECIDED TO RETURN TO HIS FIRST PROFESSION: AN ENGLISH TEACHER. FOR BEING INTERESTED IN THE ORIGIN OF THE BIBLE, SINCE LITTLE DAVID HAD A CERTAIN DOMAIN OF ARAMAIC. \N\NTHE WAR GAVE HIM MORE EXPERIENCE AND HE CAME TO SEE LIFE WITH MORE DISCERNMENT. HE ALWAYS TALKED WITH HIS FRIENDS AND DISCUSSED WITH THEM THE PASSAGES HE READ IN THE HOLY BIBLE. AT NIGHT, WHEN THEY PUT THEIR SONS MARK AND REBECCA TO BED, THEY READ A PASSAGE FROM THE BIBLE AND PRAYED TOGETHER. \N\NON WEDNESDAY, AROUND 7 P.M., HEAVY RAIN FALLS ON THE CITY.\N\NMARK AND REBECCA WERE NOT VERY WELL. THEY COUGHED A LOT DURING THE NIGHT BEFORE AND ADRIANA, AFRAID, WOULD RATHER STAY AT HOME WITH THEM. DAVID PICKS UP HIS BOOKS AND GOES TO THE WORSHIP SERVICE OF HIS CHURCH.\N\NON WEDNESDAY, THE SERVICE ALWAYS STARTS AT 7:20 P.M. FIRST
