Grandpa and Grandma Schwitzer spoke at the MTC and we all got to go and hear them speak there. Lucy was still a little to young so, she stayed home with the Olson's and the rest of us went. The kids were really excited to see what the MTC was like. We were met by the MTC President and, his wife, and they were so wonderful to all of us. They got to know our kids and made us feel welcome.
We went to the famous map and pointed to our missions and where the kids wanted to go on their missions. I am covering Anne but, she wanted to go somewhere in South America. I hope all my kids have the chance to go on a mission if that is what they choose. I know for me it was such a wonderful experience and one I have never regretted doing!
We ate dinner in the MTC with all the missionaries. The kids thought the all you can eat desserts, cereal, ice-cream was a dream come true!
Here is the whole group of the Schwitzer family that went to the MTC. I looked at this picture, and see a future army of missionaries. All these kids are amazing people, and will do so much good in this world. I can't wait to see most of these kids enter the MTC. Also, all of us couples I know would love to serve missions together! We truly are Schwitzer Strong! Jason loved it, and said going to the MTC helped him to see that going on Mission would not be so scary. He said he liked the MTC, and when he goes on his mission he will now know what to expect.
Grandma and Grandpa Schwitzer both gave wonderful talks. Grandma talked about her mission to Russia, and how she had some hard times. She said that she felt angels bear her up, and help her on her mission. Grandpa Schwitzer talked about teaching your investigator's about the 10 ten commandments, and how important the ten commandments are in our lives. We learned so much from both of them!
