Mission Miracle from Elder Justin McBride

It was this past Fast Sunday and I had been doing some of that good ol' Enos pondering. I was thinking/praying really hard on why we don't have any form of investigator but we are showing forth great works. I decided that I had what James said backwards, I had tons of works but not faith in them. I didn't think that anything my companion and I were doing was going to harvest any fruits--until I thought about it on Saturday. So I started my fast Saturday night with the intent that my companion and I would find at least one person.
Sunday morning, we showed up at the church early and as I walked in, I shook hands with somebody seated in the chapel. He was nice and open. I wasn't sure if he was a member or not so I asked him about the pamphlet that he was holding and if he had read it. He replied that he had and that the things in it were a little wierd. This was the key, I knew he wasn't a member but an investigator at this point. So I started to personalize with him, I asked about him, his age, where he was from, if he was born in Bucharest, it was a very comfortable situation. Then once we were comfortable with each other I asked him why he was coming to our church. He told me that he had come with his girlfriend who is a member. Great! He stayed for Sacrament and sat with his girlfriend. I couldn't help but notice how she was being a great missionary and explaining things to him as the meeting progressed. It was great to see this happen. It was the first time I have ever seen such a thing in Romania! And for the rest of the meeting all that was going through my mind was, "TEACH HIM!!!!"
Once the meeting was over I went home and all was well, I couldn't believe what I saw. Fake-out! I ran (more like walked quickly) up to him and asked if he had half an hour to talk a little more, he was ok with it but still a little hesitant if his girl friend was going, I noticed this and quickly realized that she would teach him 100 times better than I could so I invited her. She said no, I frowned, she asked how long? I said 30 minutes, she agreed and came! What an amazing chain! So during the lesson all I could do was teach about how once we are baptized and receive the Holy Ghost we learn a lot quicker the ways of God because we are with a member of the Godhead. He wasn't catching on but I found out during the lesson that she was inactive for a long time and that once she started to come back to church she realized how quickly she was learning new things. It was fantastic lesson and the Spirit was there in full force! My companion and I testified really well about the Book of Mormon and it's influence on the church and on our lives. I even tried to commit him to baptism letting him know that if he had a goal in mind he would be more likely to have the desire necessary to learn and succeed in the Gospel, but he rejected that idea and wants to be convinced first. However I know that when "Preach My Gospel" tells us to commit early, it doesn't say that the people will agree. At least right now he understands that it is expected of him to be baptized when he gains a testimony that what my companion and I told him is true.
It was a great lesson that I hope moves forward. I pray that he was honest, and truly seeking the truth. I know that if not, then what my companion and I did this last Sunday was to plant a seed that will one day grow.
