Cool Experience - Meeting Elder Oaks


Thanks to one of Connor's district members for going into a bit more detail of this experience

"So, all of the apostles and First Presidency and everyone was here last week because they were training the new mission presidents. And we were on extra lock-down. We couldn't go in certain buildings because of it which kinda sucked but oh well. Anywho, the door opens. And from my seat I see someone's hand first, then their name tag and all I can think is "No freaking way." then I see his cute little noggin. IT WAS DALLIN H. OAKS. He just walked in and was like "Can I sit here? What are we learning?" So all of us were like "uhh... hang on, I need to get over being starstruck for a second but we're learning Nihongo." And his response? "Oh, that's too important! I can't interrupt that!" He then proceeded to stand up and shake all or our hands while introducing himself as "Brother Oaks".  HOW COOL IS THAT!? The rest of the day our district was just in awe that it happened. And he didn't go to any of the other classrooms. Just ours. What a blessing!"
