Im sorry i am on so late but its because WE GOT TO GO TO THE TEMPLE TODAY!!!! So happy. You get to go once in your entire mission and its been 13 months since ive done an endowment session so it was really nice to go however besides the spiritual experience of the temple itself i had a really awesome experience earlier at the temple, hence the subject line..
I knew Elder Jake Halverson got his mission call to Naga mission a few months back and of course i was super excited for him however i had no plans or way of seeing him. So i didnt think to much of it. Well i thought Elder Halverson came into the philippines a couple weeks ago and was already in Naga however i didnt know he had been visa waiting in Texas. So just as we were arriving at the temple i thought "Oh jake was here not to long ago" But quickly shrugged off the thought. When we got into the temple you have sign in on a sheet to rent out clothing so i picked up the clip board and saw near the top the name "Elder Halverson" I set the clip board down immediately and went to ask the worker what time this elder halverson signed in and what mission he was coming from. She told me that he was going to Naga but his session was 10 and it was already 10:20 so i quickly lost hope of that maybe being him and if so seeing him. So i got my stuff and went into the locker room thinking maybe after the session i could go search for him in the MTC and thats when a door swung open and it was like a deer in head lights. Elder Halverson was just walking out of his session. I guess the lady lied to me but i was able to give him a hug and talk to him for a couple minutes before i had to run into my session. It was tons of fun seeing him and being able to talk to him for a little bit. He heads off to his mission tomorrow so they chose to go to the temple for their last day. Just a super comforting moment to see someone from home.
THis past week has been super busy! We have had lots going on and we are teaching tons of new people. I had lots of pics and videos to send so that will tell plenty of stories itself. ZOne conference is this coming week and we have to check all the missionary apartments in our zone so it should be another busy week.
Last week the mission got 20 new Americans. this coming transfer day is another 20. The transfer day in November is 17... SO many white people its insane.
Love you all lots!
Elder gsack
