"So we just got back from the temple not to long ago, and it was incredible. That place truly is the house of god. President pearson spoke to us for a little while before we went into the session. He talked to us about his experience he's had the last few months, and he again bore detailed testimony of how he knows that the priesthood keys have been returned to the earth and Thomas s. Monson is the man who is able to use them. He then told us about how he is humbled by his new calling but he bore awesome testimony about he will do whatever he is told to do because of his knowledge of the truth. It was one of the most powerfull experiences i've ever had in my life. After the session president welcomed each of us into the celestrial room with a big hug. you all know i'm not much of a hugger but i must say it was one of the better hugs i've given back. it's not very often you get to hug a G.A. ha ha. It was amazing to see a huge group of missionaries in the celestial room all at one time. what an experience."
"As my luck would have it, i had a pretty terrible thing happen after the session. someone broke into our car, by shadering the window, while we were at the temple. they stole my camera and my backpack which had my temple clothes and my bike lock and my scriptures in it. so i'm without a camera, and without my scriptures that i have had for years, and my patriarchal blessing which was in the scriptures. Luckily My camera can be replaced and I can get a new pair of scriptures sometime, and hopefully you can send me another copy of my blessing soon. It was a little bit of a bummer, but i still was so happy about what had happened just hours before in the temple. nothing could have got me down after that experience."
Rough time, but at the same time what a neat temple experience. Jake has grown so much already. We are so proud of him! He ended by saying, "God knows me personally, i know that more now than i ever have. the church is true."
