    Loved this! Thats very similar to my story. I grew up in Queens in the 90s too and came home to two white guys speaking gringo Spanish to my mom and brother. No clue what these guys were up to. I also thought they were law enforcement. Little did I know my mom was praying for guidance to raise my brother and I when they knocked on the door 10 min after the prayer. We were baptized 3 weeks later. May 1994. I also remember being blown away by the doctrine in the same way. Also saw the same commercials and played ball at church on that carpet floor court. Man! Loved this interview.

    Thank so very much, Levi and Omar, for your story. Levi, I am a 46 year old grown butt man (dramatic pause), and you got me balling in tears. I recognize so many elements of your story, and it is an awesome story. Thank you very very much.

    Great interview, you guys. I like how you let Levi talk, and don’t annoy our joy by interjecting.
    May I suggest 4 more ideas to improve groove:
    ⚪️ Use correct name of the Church
    ⚪️ Use Lav mics
    ⚪️ Use three-point lighting
    ⚪️ Read comments posted by viewers, and respond. It is courtesy to them and sometimes helpful. Viewer feedback is a resource. Hide hater comments (better than blocking because you still get credit for ‘hidden’ comments in UA-cam’s analytics). Don’t allow anti-LDS rot to live in Comments sections; cleanse it by hiding it - housecleaning is needful, darn it. Book of Mormon Central / Scripture Central don’t bother, and so their UA-cam channels’ _Comments_ sections are sometimes cesspools of apostate spate and Evangelical heckle. Raves to you! 💛

    I’m so sorry about your brother 💔 that’s so hard! 😭 My husband has only one brother that he’s gone through some similar experiences with as well so I know he would be CRUSHED and struggle too. I’m so grateful you’re still here and you have the testimony you do. It means so much! In my opinion, I feel like you still being in this church is honoring him because you went on this faith journey together. I’m glad we are taught about eternal perspective. That being said, though, I know that doesn’t take away grief and missing him ❤️

    Wow! I was also captivated. Had the best happy laugh hearing about the baptism attire when Jesus went into the Jordan River, and was so glad you followed His example! As a mom who buried two children, I just feel for you and your family with the part about your brother. Have you come to forgive those who caused it? Wonder if it will be addressed in the film. Thanks for sharing this here!

You are my brother in so many ways. My heart goes out to you losing your brother. Hope we get to meet someday.
