Wednesday morning we woke up to the rain. We had to check out of our hotel that morning and pack the car in the rain! We then drove to the next hotel and dropped off our baggage and headed out for the adventure of the day. The forecast called for rain all day so no Disneyland or beach but even better we found the Los Angeles Temple. Ingeborg's friend met up with us for the day and we first found a place to eat lunch called the soupplantation it's like our Sweet Tomatoes at home. Anyways buffets are always a trick with 5 young children but we made it through the line and sat down to enjoy our lunch. Suddenly we were mobbed by a group of 15 or so foreigners all taking pictures with the kids and kissing them on the cheeks! We found out they were from Turkey but didn't speak much English they thought our kids were beautiful....Anden didn't like it and started screaming but the rest of the kids put up with the pictures and attention. I wish I had a picture of the event. I felt like we were famous people or something.
The Los Angeles temple is huge and beautiful! It's the 2nd largest in the world. They have a great visitors center. The kids are playing at this table that they could draw or color pictures and then they were displayed on the big screen.
The Christus room was beautiful. We listened to the presentation which always brings the spirit. Then we watched a new movie about John Taylor. We had the theatre to ourselves and it was a neat experience.
Finally the sun came out and we walked around the temple grounds and took some pictures.
I love to go to the temple and hope all my kids will get married there someday!
The spire is really tall with the angel Moroni on top.
