Hey,
We have a new investigator that I want to tell you guys about. His name is Pop and we found him through our English Program and he has truly been prepared! After our English program for about the last 20 minutes, we talk about our church and invite people to come and learn with us if they're interested. Last week, we talked about the love of God and how we are all children of Him. After we had closed the lesson and were putting away the chairs, this 19 year old kid came up to us and said, "Elder, I want to know about God's Love. I want to know more about what you teach. I'm free tomorrow if you can meet." I was blown away! I've never had anyone come up to me and say that they want to learn more like that! I told him for sure! So we set up a time and the next day we went and met him at the church and he started telling us about himself and he has a hard history! His parents are separated and pretty much abandoned him and he has been living on his own since he was 15. He has been totally lacking love in his life so when we talked about the love of God, he got excited and wanted to know more! After we taught him more about God, he told us that he felt really good and warm coming here to church and meeting with us. It makes him want to come back! We invited him to church on Sunday and he said for sure he would be there! He came on Sunday and it was an awesome experience for him because there was also a baptism we had on Sunday so he was able to see how it was. He asked us how long he had to learn until he could be baptized as well! We said not long! We then set a date for him to be baptized in 6 weeks and he was been way excited about it. We have only been teaching him for a week and he has been amazing! I have a feeling that he will for sure be baptized and be an awesome member. Having God in his life will have an amazing influence in his life! I'm way excited to see how it end up!
