Manila Temple Trip . . .

We were invited to attend the Manila Temple on Saturday September 24th, 2011. We got permission to leave the mission to attend a session at the temple. We were excited to be able to attend the temple again. It was a wonderful session and the spirit was so strong.

I am grateful for this opportunity . . . we sometimes take the temple for granted because at home there are 4 temples within a 20 mile radius of our home. We left at 5:30am to drive to Manila, about 60 miles away. It took about one and a half to two hours to drive to the temple. This is due to the traffic in Manila!

We were also able to to to the distribution center, the Area office (which was closed on Saturday) and the Manila MTC. They are just across the street from the temple.

What a great way to spend our Saturday!!
