From Jonah Bench
Teaching in New York,
USA
So we had a lesson with a guy last night named Billy Jack.
He ran up to us while we were getting in the car to go home at around nine at
night and asked us to teach him. Not many people more prepared than that! He
wants to quit drinking and wants to fix up his life. He has tattoos all
over him and looks like he has had a rough past, but the Atonement of Christ
will fix that. He wants to be clean, and to be free from addiction and from Satan.
The greatest miracle I have seen on my mission is the
softening of even the hardest heart to hear the word of the Lord and to change.
Change is not easy for people! Billy Jack is super sincere! He accepted a
baptismal date [during] the first lesson! So we have him down hesitantly for July
11th! He is a funny guy! But he said the closing prayer and it was super
genuine! He is ready to change! He said after the prayer, "Yep,this is my
church!"
