I think the most important thing for me in choosing to be baptized was that, I chose to give up drinking coffee. I loved coffee, but because of my faith and because of my willingness to take upon me the name of Jesus Christ giving it up became a no brainer. When we tackle the commandments that are the hardest for us to keep and choose to follow, those commandments become easy to obey. That's been my experience anyway. And the blessings that come from following the commandments are sooooo worth it!!!:)
