True, enduring happiness, with the accompanying strength, courage, and capacity to overcome the greatest difficulties, will come as you center your life in Jesus Christ. Obedience to His teachings provides a secure ascent in the journey of life. That takes effort. While there is no guarantee of overnight results, there is the assurance that, in the Lord's time, solutions will come, peace will prevail, and happiness will be yours."

Romania Bucharest Mission Reunion
We finally made it to a reunion for our first mission. We were looking forward to seeing many of the great Elders, Soras and Couples we were blessed to serve with in Romania. We were an hour late due to traffic that was unbelievable so we didn't have as much time as we were looking forward to spending with all these great people. There was a big turn out but when you consider the years covered there were not enough there to have all the ones we were looking forward to seeing. Looking at the percentage of Couples to young missionaries though the couples were better represented and we knew more of them than the young missionaries. We so enjoyed catching up with these great people we grew to love in Romania. We just wish we had more time with all of them. Plus I forgot to take pictures until the very end and then did not get many.
Fred Christensen was one of the first Elders we served with in Constanta. His wife Irina also served as a mini-missionary in Constanta while we were there.
Elder Jackson was our District Leader in Arad - on fantastic District Leader
Romanian friends now in the US.
The Boggess and Sora Facer (husband was elsewhere) were two great couples we grew to love.
The begining of our happiness - front row: Paige, Heidi, Lisa, Amanda, Kristi; back row: Randy, Rick, Eileen, Steven. We started with 7 children and have now added 6 spouses and 25 grandchildren - the Joy and Happiness just multiplies!
