Here's this week's temple story!
Brother Phillips is involved in a business that supports home schooling. He has
associates in Arizona. In conjunction with a business meeting in Utah, Brother
Phillips arranged a tour of the Saratoga Springs Temple for this group from
Arizona, some of whom are not members of the Church.
As the group was touring the temple, Brother Phillips noticed that one of his
colleagues began to weep while they were at the baptismal font. Brother Phillips
described this man as having “a long beard and a man bun” and a self-described
“born again Christian.”
When the tour concluded and the group was outside the temple, Brother
Phillips inquired of his guest the feelings that caused him to weep in the
baptistry. The man responded that as an infant, his father had brought him home
from the hospital on his Harley Davidson motorcycle. He characterized his father
as a hard-drinking biker who had no use for religion during his life.
While in the baptistry, he said he saw his deceased father and he heard his
father say to him “You need to do this for me. I have accepted the Savior.”
Brother Phillips arranged for the missionaries in Arizona to visit his friend upon
his return home.
