We had a cool miracle yesterday. Elder Morris met a guy name Mehrdad on the street, he wanted to know how he can be Christian. When we met up with him, we asked him a few questions to get to know him. He wants to find peace in his life, that's all he wants. We shared with him some scriptures in the Book of Mormon that brought us peace, and showed how it can bring peace to him. As we were reading, he looked down a few verses and saw the word commandments. Elder Morris and I were a little hesitant to share the commandments in the first lesson. So we kind of just brushed it off and mention the 10 commandments and things like that. We said that it would take more than one visit to explain everything, then he suggested that we get coffee another time. Elder Morris and I looked at each other and said" ....we don't drink coffee..." Then he said" Ok, let's get some tea." Then we were like " we don't drink tea either...." "What about a beer" " don't drink beer as well"
We hesitated a little and grabbed a Word of Wisdom pamphlet, and taught the Word of Wisdom and he committed to follow them. We were surprised. Then he asked about relationships like living with a partner. Then we had to grab the Law of Chastity pamphlet. He said that his girlfriend was out of town, so that wasn't a problem for him. It was the first time that Elder Morris and I had ever taught the Word of Wisdom and Law of Chastity in the first lesson. So we gave him a date for the 11th of March, just goal, because he want's to get baptized as soon as he can. We will make sure he's ready though, before he get's baptized.
Love Elder Westbrook
