Q:
On top of that, let me begin another but connective story. A man and woman asked me to have a questionnaire while walking around the campus, and after a while, I was contacted with the news of winning "Jewish Education attending chance." I had almost full of schedules so I just tried to reject it. However, they offered me a one-on-one personalized education and eventually they caught me. A woman, who looked similar but a little older in age to me, was waiting in the cafe near the college. Then, she gave me a kind of art therapy, and I was touched by it and even burst into tears. She certainly had the ability to impress others. I have had a few more meetings with her since. This attractive woman often took me to some good places and we spent good times walking around. With I was showing signs of getting close to her, she suddenly asked me what it would be like to study the Bible together. What a coincidence! I couldn't say that I was already studying the Bible with someone else because of my promise with the pastor. I thought there was nothing I could do but decided to have another Bible study with her. Of course, I was exhausted by many things to do. One day, surprisingly, the pastor suspected that I was hiding something from him and inquired whether I was studying the Bible elsewhere. I totally freaked out. What an unrealistic and supernatural thing happened! I had not given him a hint about that. He said that God told him that, and I believe that naively. Does this sound natural?

Yes it can. 'Even if' can be broken down to 'even' and 'if'. 'even' simply means 即使 in Chinese, and 'if' means 如果. Both cases are grammatically correct, though some would sound more fluent than others depending on the context.
