It's been a pretty good week! We got two referrals that were super solid this week. One said he would be baptized if the missionaries showed up at his house. We called the member that sent the referral and she said he was her best friend. They have been joking about coming to church, taking missionary lessons and getting baptized for a long time but recently he asked her why she hasn't sent missionaries by his house. She thought it was a joke and kind of played it off but he was like no I'm serious, if you send the missionaries by I will get baptized. It's gonna be a good lesson with him this week. We are pretty excited.
The other was a referral that was sent by some missionaries in Mesa. They said the missionaries stopped to fix their bike tires at a gas station and he asked if they needed any help. Well they got to talking and he said the only reason he didn't get baptized is because he wasn't married. We went over last night to his house and this car comes flying in behind us. A guy comes running out and was jumping in the car and I stopped him and said Hey are you Tito? He said no but the guy driving is and we gotta go. Well they took off and then turned around. Tito rolled down his window and said Hey I wanna meet with you guys. Gave us his number and said call me. Then took off. They both seem pretty solid. I'm excited to see what happens
This week I've been thinking a lot of what it kinda takes to be a Mormon. I realized it's a lot of hard work. We have to draw this line once we are baptized and not cross it again. We have this limit we have to set. Commandments we have to follow to keep us safe and happy. It takes a lot of work. I was thinking about how people know we are Mormon. For us as missionaries it easy. We have white shirts, ties, name tags and are always with a companion. But what about life not as a missionary. How can people tell we are on the other side of the line? There is a quote from Elder Holland that says "If you were convicted of being a Latter-Day Saint, would there be enough evidence to prove you're a Mormon?" Gave me some food for thought. I hope can have people look at me and say "Man I bet he's a true disciple of Christ, he's gotta be Mormon. I hope to live my life to reflect Heavenly Fathers will.
