Return to San Antonio

It was completely unexpected right now to go to San Antonio. I got the call from one of my companions who was still in the field that some of my converts (Joe & Carol Amar) were going through the temple for the first time and were to be sealed. I was told before that it would be later in September if not October. I guess they changed their mind. They lost my phone number and so my companion called me. I made the quick decision to go. I had made a commitment to myself during my mission to see my converts go through the temple (if at all possible) and bought a plane ticket. I was gone from Friday until Sunday. It was a great trip. It actually was a huge blessing. I was able to help one of my other converts, Nnenna to get back on the road, and see another convert Brandon. There were a lot of other people that I really wanted to see as well, but I knew it would have been really impossible since I had little time and didn't want to be rushed. Plus if you see one, you have to see all. This trip was truly one of the greatest highlights of my life - God blessed me so much - I will never regret it.
