Hugh's testimonies

Early in the morning while getting ready to take my ex-wife Coty to work, someone had left a bible on the hood of my car. This was the first time I had seen such book. Didn't know of its existence, much less of its content. When I returned home, I went through the pages but understood nothing so the bible ended up forgotten in the bookcase among dozens of others. During 1984 a bestseller book appeared, called, "Caballo de Troya" which means "Horse of Troy". This book is about an astronaut crew that went back in time two thousand years. I found it fascinating when they began to narrate their close encounters with Jesus of Nazareth; of whom I only knew from what was told in the catholic church or what I had seen about Him every Christmas season in the movie theaters. Nevertheless, my appetite to know more about him was very intense. It came to pass by mid 1990 after my ex-wife had divorced me in 1989.

The separation and divorce with Coty was the worst thing that had ever happened to me, at that time; even though I had been previously married.

Meeting Jesus, was the best thing that has ever happened to me. Yes, thanks to that divorce, I met Jesus! Halleluiah!

One of my sisters, once told me that I needed Jesus in my life, that Jesus, would be the only one who would be able to help me get rid of such a heavy burden.

Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.

I spent that night at my sister's house. A guest room with a window facing east and God, witnessed the spilling of my tears in repentance for several hours.

Have you ever been in Mexico City? You hardly ever see a star in the sky, due to heavy smog and pollution, but I did! Through my window, I saw shining from the east, a bigger than average shining bright star!; which accompanied me all throughout the night. I began to feel peace in my heart! A different peace!. That occurrence, was absolutely unique and unforgettable.

From then on, I was bible hungry, day and night! I would read the Bible continuously for hours. I didn't want to go anywhere; all I wanted to do was to keep reading my Bible.

I had returned to my parent's house, in the state of Veracruz, when one night I found myself praying out loud the following: I cannot stand this burden any longer, so I put my family into your hands. Take my wife and two kids. I give them to you!
