Our
Jubilee Year!
"Fifty years ago, on May 20, 1969, President
Marion G. Romney met with 34 members of the church early in the morning at Casa
de Campo, a park outside Madrid, to dedicate this beautiful country to the
preaching of the gospel and the gathering of Israel. Six days later, President Richard G. Scott of
the North Argentine Mission, sent four missionaries: Elders Clark B. Hinckley,
Craig L. Ward, Robert J. Hernandez (now Haws), and Jose Luis Barco from that
mission to Madrid. They held their first
baptismal service on June 28.

On October first of that year, a Saturday, eight missionaries arrived at Estació Franca in Barcelona at 8:30 in the morning. They had one day to find places to stay, and the next day held their first church services on the beach!
