Visit to the Sacred Grove - 21 Sept. 2010, Tuesday

Sister Christianson, Sister & Elder McVea, President Christianson

Pres. Christianson gave us an amazing guided tour through the grove and shared many experiences and a powerful testimony.  We were given time alone to ponder the sacredness of the grove.

 Sister & President Christianson, Elder Cox (Blackfoot, ID), E. Hallam (Rexburg, ID), E. Campbell (Phoenix, AZ), E. Schow (Cardston, Alberta, Canada), Sister Gonzalez (Ogden, UT) & Sister Tirrell (Ammon, ID).  These are the six missionaries that entered the Mission with us.

This is Sister Tirrell whose grandmother's brother is Elder Lyle Judy, the missionary who baptized Elder McVea at the age of 14.  How cool is that !!!!

John Young Home

Looks like this will be our home for the next 18 months.  John Young is Brigham Young's father.  Brigham Young and His family lived here for a number of Years.  This is actually only part of the original home.  It was separated out from the larger portion for some unknown reason.  The larger portion is across the street.

Senior Couples at the MTC

 

This is the largest senior group to be in the MTC for a long time.

Elder Pelham was in the MTC at the same time as Elder and Sister McVea. Elder Pelham was also a former Auto Student from Provo High.
