Sebastian

We have an investigator named Sebastian, and we had our first lesson with him. During that first lesson he just kept telling us, "well I'm only doing this for my fiancé", and "I really don't believe in God. What has He done for me? He's only given me a hard life". So after the first lesson we didn't know where to go or how we should proceed. 

So the next week we had another lesson and he came with a ton of questions. But the Spirit was so strong and we were able to answer his questions and say things that only the Spirit knew to say. It was just amazing.

Then we go to the third lesson and he has even more questions and he is wanting to learn more for himself and not just for his fiancé. Then at the end he said the most beautiful prayer. In it he said, "God I know you are there. I know these are your servants and they speak your words." That was such a beautiful moment. A man who did not believe in God 1 weeks ago, prayed to Him and knew He was there! It was just beautiful. It's so beautiful what the teachings of Jesus Christ can do to someone. It truly does bind up the broken hearted and soothe the broken soul. 

I am so grateful to be a missionary. I am so grateful to be on God's team teaching His people the truth. The Book of Mormon is true. If you haven't read it lately or haven't studied it and applied it to your life, I want you to do it! It will change you.

Love,
