First Temple Trip of the Year!

 
Columbia, South Carolina Temple

On Friday my (Waxhaw) ward went on our first temple trip this year! It was wonderful despite the fact that it was super de duper FREEZING! They changed the system a little bit since the last time we went. Instead of having it go girl, boy, girl, boy, they had all the girls go first while the young men sit out in the waiting room. When the young women were done they had them go out into the waiting room and then brought the boys in to do their work. It was different, but I thought it was good. The spirit was strong.

 
The Waxhaw AND Weddington ward. This picture was taken some time last year when they combined our wards on temple trips (since the wards split we combined since there were no open spots for one of us to get our own slot).

Awesome dude! So my buddy Daniel just left to the MTC last week and he will be serving in Columbia, South Carolina! So if you ever go there again to the temple or something, keep an eye out for Elder Van Buskirk! lol. That's awesome!
