Elder Oaks Visit

4/22/09
We saw Elder Oaks a few times this past weekend he is a really enthusiastic, very crazy speaker, in the Saturday adult session we were laughing all the way through it, he was just making jokes the whole time. Sunday we got to have a special just us missionaries meeting with him. You know he is only like 5 foot 7. We got to go up and shake his hand. Conference Sunday he went around to everyone before the meeting and shook everyone's hand it was cool to be in the presence of an apostle. He opened the missionary meeting up for question/answer it was really cool. He talked about keeping our line in the water always and told the story behind what he wrote in preach my gospel. It was extremely cool. HE then described the missionary selection process in detail. Saturday night he told us sooo much stuff and he had to of said at least 10 different times, now I don't want to read this on the internet tomorrow hahahaha. It was a pretty cool experience, we cleaned the mission home up real nice and the office, because there was a high possibility he was going to stop by. When we were eating dinner Saturday night I was like 5 feet from him.
