¿Conoce la familia “Chosen”?

So we had a bit of a really neat experience this week. When I do my contacts I love using the question ¿Conoce la familia “Chosen”? (Do you know the Chosen Family), well this week we found them! There was a lady sitting out in front of her house and we asked her my question. She of course responded that she didn´t know the family but her husband was walking down the street towards us and she waved to him to come over to see if he knew them. Her husband isn´t your ordinary Latino, he is about 6 foot 5 inches, he has arms the diameter of coconuts, and he has nothing less than a very intimidating voice. I was a little more than nervous but He told us that he didn´t know of the family but he mentioned to us that he had once spoken with “Elders” before and he had a question about “Who is Joseph Smith”. We went into his house and gave him a brief lesson as to the life of Joseph Smith, his history, and also we shared the First Vision with him. We asked if we could come back and share a video with him. He accepted and we returned the next day to watch “Joseph Smith: The Prophet of the Restoration”.

During the movie the spirit was so strong, both Johnny and his wife were so focused on the video and nothing could pull them away. When it ended the room fell silent and no one said anything for a while. I looked over at Johnny and noticed that he had tears falling down his cheeks, he looked at us and bore a very simple yet powerful testimony as to the Prophet Joseph Smith, I answered his testimony with my own. We have since been able to teach them about the restoration and they are going to get married in December and right after they are going to get baptized. Obviously us missionaries don´t know who is prepared but the Lord does and he shows them too us, even if he has to test our faith and courage a little bit.
