Admob Interstitial isReady is False

I am trying to implement Admob Interstitial ads on ios.

Here is what I have so far, this is my first time ever touching objective-c so please be kind.

// Simple Admob Interstitial support for Monkey - IOS

// admobInterstitial.ios.h

#import "GADInterstitial.h"


class AdmobInterstitial {

    // the kind of "singleton"
    static AdmobInterstitial *_admob;
    // the ad
    GADInterstitial *_interstitialAd;
    // ad Unit ID
    NSString *adUnitId;

public:
    AdmobInterstitial();

    // creates an instance of the object and start the thread
    static AdmobInterstitial *GetAdmobInterstitial(String adUnitId);

    // displays the ad to the user if it is ready
    void ShowAd();
};


// admobInterstitial.ios.cpp

AdmobInterstitial *AdmobInterstitial::_admob;

AdmobInterstitial::AdmobInterstitial():_interstitialAd(0) {

}

AdmobInterstitial *AdmobInterstitial::GetAdmobInterstitial(String adUnitId) {
    if( !_admob ) _admob=new AdmobInterstitial();
    _admob->adUnitId = adUnitId.ToNSString();
    return _admob;
}

void AdmobInterstitial::ShowAd() {
    // create ad (should this go here or earlier?)
    _interstitialAd = [[GADInterstitial alloc] init];

    if (_interstitialAd) {
        _interstitialAd.adUnitID = adUnitId;
        [_interstitialAd loadRequest:[GADRequest request]];

        if (_interstitialAd.isReady) {
            BBMonkeyAppDelegate *appDelegate=(BBMonkeyAppDelegate*)[[UIApplication sharedApplication] delegate];
            UIViewController *rootViewController = appDelegate->viewController;
            [_interstitialAd presentFromRootViewController:rootViewController];
        }
    }
}

I am calling ShowAd() in my game after a player dies and clicks the restart button. Currently, _interstitialAd.isReady is not coming back as true.

This is the documentation I used to get started http://ift.tt/1nIUDB3

It says that "You may invoke loadRequest: at any time, however, you must wait for GADInterstitialDelegate's interstitialDidReceiveAd: to be called before displaying the creative."

I assume this is the problem I am running into. I think I am calling loadRequest before interstitialDidReceiveAd. However, the document doesn't show an example of how I would wait for this method to be called.

Can anyone help with this?
