Have a Fiesta, Then Take a Siesta - 10/1/18

Hola hola!! How is it monday again. How many mondays do they have a week in Texas. that's what I would like to know!! FIRST OFF: WE HAVE SOMEONE ON DATE! FOR BAPTISM! THIS MY FIRST EVER! So here is the story! We knocked an apartment building where a less active sister lived and were on our way out when we get a call from a weird salt lake number! Temple square sisters! They say hi sisters do you have a minute to talk about a referral we're about to send you! We say do we ever!! So they tell us about this man Morris who chatted online with the temple square sisters and wanted a book of mormon!! So we're like okay we'll head over there right now! We got the referral, within 10 minutes we were at his house, within the hour he'd agreed to be baptized on OCTOBER 13TH!!
