EQ Temple Outing (& Dinner)

The Elders Quorum was glad to follow up its wildly mildly successful January temple trip with another wildly mildly successful July temple trip.  

The plan was to have a 3:00 pm endowment session followed by a 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm cookout at some nearby grills on Beach Dr. but due to some rainy conditions (read: excessive heat + low Evite RSVP success rate) we opted for a last-minute switch to a local Arlington favorite, 'Ray's to the Third' in Rosslyn.  

"Rainy conditions"
It was a great experience for those that were able to make it.  We're fortunate to have such a beautiful temple so close to us, and it was especially cool to do work for names submitted by A2 legend, Bro. Hanneman, as we try to fulfill the stake goal to do temple ordinances for an entire stake equivalent during 2015.  

All those in favor please Ray's your hand to the square.
