Early Morning Spiritual Extravaganza!


So this morning Coby and I decided to get our bums out of bed and go do baptisms for the dead at the Salt Lake Temple with our ward...it was really early. It was super nice though because I discovered that I hadn't desecrated temple garments! ya see...a couple of weeks ago I went to do baptisms and a nice...very asian...lady helped me get my clothes. She gave me this new underwear but I couldn't really understand her so I wasn't sure. Well, I went a couple of times after that and the new underwear was nowhere to be found! So I, thinking logically of course, thought she had given me the underwear for endowed sisters. Uh Oh! So I tell Coby and all he has to say is.."thats really bad Leis!" Oh Great! So I was a little worried about the whole temple-underwear situation but this morning a nice...english...lady helped me and gave me the "new underwear" and SURPRISE! It really is new underwear...it was a huge relief...and it totally made my day...that and the story Coby's gonna tell :)
My turn! So on our way out of the temple we took the scenic route...aka the hallways that take you to the parking garage instead of out to temple square. When we went out automatic double doors I bent down to tie my shoes and BAM! a side door I didn't even know existed pops open and a guy in a suit with an ear-piece jumps out, mumbles something, then disappears again! Talk about random! Then maybe a minute later he does it again, but now there's two of them and they both disappear again! Now I was curious...what the heck were they doing?! Then as we started to walk down the hallway the doors at the end popped open and another ear-piece wearing suit tells us to get to one side of the hallway. What is going on here?! The answer came very soon as a golf cart, you know the fancy ones that the apostles get to ride, pulls into view with someone in the passenger seat. Guess who was on it...go ahead and guess...yep, sure was none other than ELDER HALES!!! How sweet is that?! I was pretty excited about it and told just about everyone. I'm still a little curious where that random secret-side door goes to, but for now, seeing an apostle has quelled that curiosity...for now.
All in all, it was a pretty eventful temple trip. We'll so grateful to have the temple so close and to be able to go and share in the blessings of the Gospel. Church is true, the book is blue, and Moroni is still on the ball. :)
