The day began at 9:00 am with Priesthood and Relief Society, which we enjoyed immensely. Sacrament meeting started at 10:40 and went until noon.
We then enjoyed lunch with the Sitteruds and all the young missionaries. In the evening, we spoke at the MTC fireside (held in the adjacent stake center) to around 90 missionaries.
The final activity was the weekly Sunday evening hymn singing by the missionaries on the steps leading to the temple and MTC area.
This is a video of one of the hymns, "Onward Christian Solders":
Here are photos of the missionaries. If you see your missionary here, please leave a comment below:

Elder Oliver is my son. It's so nice to get some bonus pictures and videos! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteI want to share with you my testimony of how I joined this great organization of ILLUMINATI, Really I was so poor and my life was almost close to death, i tried many times to join illuminati but all was in vain where by i was facing fake people who were claiming to be agents of illuminati. They ate my money without helping me out there i loosed hope in illuminati. But because i was very interested and focused on my dream, I continued trying there I meet another person who told me he will help me out still i didnt trust him at all because of the first pain i passed through,he still also asked me to send him money there i get scared but with time he sent me his membership id card,trust in him little and i accepted to send him money, but what amazed me is that immidiately after sending him money for initiation items, i got intiated within 2hour onlines and i recieve my $1,000,000 directly to my account there i trusted him more and he is the only agent i trust because he helped me seriously. So my friend if you want to join illuminati contact him on WhatsApp +2348180828544, i dont have that authority of joining anyone
DeleteLove the videos and pictures. Would have loved to hear my daughter, Sister Carter, playing but the picture of her was great!
ReplyDeleteNancy, Sister Scoville has spoken of her companion, Sister Carter. Perhaps it our daughters that are serving together. :)
DeleteMark, I think so, since Sister Carter said her companion is Sister Scoville.
DeleteAs my family and I were looking through the pictures we didn't see my brother elder Day. we panicked a little wondering why he wasn't there. Then we watched the video and he is the one leading. I didn't even know he knew how to lead. ;)
ReplyDeleteElder Matthews is my son. I loved watching all of them sing in Spanish!! This is so awesome and fun for all the family to see. Thank you soo much!! Hugs to you!

ReplyDeleteWOW! What an uplifting way to start my Monday morning! Thank you so much for posting the pictures and video! It is wonderful to be a part of this Sunday night tradition from far away in Utah. It was also nice to hear about the time you were able to spend with these wonderful missionaries on Sunday, I bet they enjoyed hearing from you. Thanks for all you do, and letting us have a glimpse into our son's (Elder Groves) experiences there. Your blog is fantastic, we enjoy seeing the beauty of Spain.

ReplyDeleteThank you, dear friends and family of a missionary here in the Madrid MTC. Unfortunately, I was tied up last night (25 Aug 2013), and will be tied up next week (1 Sep 2013), so you won't get a YouTube video or still photos of your missionaries. I will try to post something from 8 Sept 2013, but some or all of your missionaries might be gone by then. Best wishes.
