"I joined the Navy right out of high school in the year 1978. I went in with of kinds of hopes and dreams. I would go to college and save money to prepare for my life after the military.

My plans and what really happened were not the same.I partied and lived a wild life style so typical of a single guy far from home.I grew up going to church and I knew about God. I never doubted His existence; I just ignored a personal relationship with Him.
There came a time when I was no longer caught up with drinking and smoking pot or looking for a wife. I had experienced some hard knocks in my life and I was empty and not like who I was when I looked in the mirror.

My father wrote me a very long letter telling me about God, quoting scripture and asking me where I was spiritually. I was very curious because he had never written a letter this long before and I had not been challenged to see that a lot of my problems came from no having God in my life.

We ignore what we need most. I picked up a new testament and started reading Romans. The Bible would tell me that I was a sinner and I needed to tell God that.

I would read tracts, get convicted, put the tracts away, but never throw them away.
I told God one day, if what I am reading is for real and He was listening to me, send someone to answer he questions I had in my heart. This was in my barracks, all alone, by myself when I asked.
About a week later, I was getting gas at midnight right near the barracks, a your Mexican man pulled up to the other side of the pump and started talking to me.

I thought, “Who is this guy?” I got in my car and was about to close the door when I realized the man was standing right by my door and asking me if I am a Christian. A Christian? I said, I guess so, I think so!!! He told me that was not the right answer and could he talk to me for a little while. I figured that if I did not say yes, he would not leave me alone. We pulled over by the side of the gas station.

Carlos pulled out his Bible, put it on top of his car and started flying through it. He told me about Jesus, who He was and why He came and what I needed to do. All the things I had learned from reading tracts and the New Testament. I had never met anyone who had told me, with the power of the Holy Ghost, speaking words so convincing and convicting. At one point he looked at me and said, “The Lord has sent me to you to answer the questions you have in your heart!”

I thought to myself, “This guy does not know me, he was not in my room when I told God this!” And now, after midnight, at a gas station, God was answering my request.

He had heard me, would I hear Him?"
