Recommendation Letter trouble

Wait, if I took 2 courses from a Ph.D student in my UG and the student will be a Ph.D by the time I graduate, then I still shouldn’t get a letter of recommendation from them?

I mean I’m like 6 courses into my major and I’ve had exactly two classes that even had professors associated with them. (well technically one of them was a Ph.D qualified “Instructor”) Also, this next quarter the only professor I’ll have who is related to my Major(s) has a title of “Lecturer” and that Major (Math) is not what I’d be pursuing graduate studies in.

So should I not use a letter of recommendation from the ABD Grad student I’ve taken two classes from who has said he would be willing to write one?
