He Gave His Life to God

Elder James Speidel

"I knew this guy back in Denver. His name was Robert, and Robert - he’s a stud. I love him. When I met him he’d just gotten out of federal prison. When he was in there, he met a kid who’s a member of the church, and the kid had a book about Joseph Smith. Robert was making fun of the kid and making fun of Jesus Christ, Joseph Smith, and just - religion in general. The kid challenged him to read the book. Robert, this big ole’ guy - he's stacked. He’s pretty muscular. He read the first chapter, and then he got down on his knees, crying, and he just gave his life to God. Robert had been in motorcycle gangs. He called himself a 'bad boy'. It’s just amazing to see the change from motorcycle gang leader to sixty-year-old man crying in sacrament meeting - you know?"
