I love to hear conversion stories

This morning after our missionary corrilation meeting at the church,  we met a man who came up to us at the church and said, "hi, this used to be my church." I came by to see if I could do my home teaching.  He actually still is a member and he is from South Africa.  He joined the church 40 years ago in Salerno, while he was teaching at the university there. He was branch president there for a while soon after he joined.  He heard that they closed the Salerno branch and he has come back to find some of the families who left the church, that he knew way back when, and invite them back so they can go to the temple next year.
I asked him how he came in contact with the missionaries.  He said that he was single back then and had no desire to get married or join any religion.  His mother came from a large family and everyone was divorced many times and no one had a happy marriage.  The missionaries approached him and told him that they believed that families could be eternal and that they could be married for eternity.  That idea seemed unbelievable to him, but he wanted to hear more.  He was baptized 3 weeks later.  He said that the missionary who taught him, got sick and had to return back home after only being out on his mission for a few short months. But  many many people have joined the church because of that missionary who taught the man we met today.
He told us that when he joined the church in 1972, one of his priesthood leaders told him that he should get married.  He wasn't interested in any of the italian girls in his branch.  He got his patriarchal blessing and was promised that he would know his future wife from the minute he first saw her.  He went back to South Africa to visit his family and went to church.  There he saw this girl, who had just joined the church a few months before he did.  He knew she was the right one from the first time he saw her.  They were married in the Swiss temple and have been together ever since.  His wife's family all joined the church and she has 6 brothers who all served missions and married in the temple and now have families that they are raising in the church.
He has a language school in South Africa and he knows 10 European languages + 3 African languages.  He was a very interesting man.
