Great time with our Romanian Missionaries

Six Romanian missionaries and one happy groom!

Lauren and Drew

Next stop on our trip was Newport Beach CA for the wedding of one of the sister missionaries we served with in Romania.  She was married in the Newport Beach Temple.  It is a beautiful temple with a southwest feel that fits the area.  It was a perfect day for a wedding and reception with the temps in the 70's and no humidity.  Two Elders and one sister missionary were at the wedding too so it was fun to catch up with them.  We enjoyed being together again but the traffic is horrendous.  As we arrived in the LA basin we got caught in rush hour traffic and what should have taken an hour took us 3 hours in stop and go traffic.  Then between the wedding and the reception Eileen wanted to go to Oceanside.  Again the traffic was so bad the freeway seemed like a parking lot.  By the time we got to Oceanside we could not stop but had to turn around immediately to make it back to the reception. I don't see going to the LA area on my plans again.
