As promised our blog will be my journal where I can share our experiences. We have been here at the MTC for a week now! It has been exhausting but in excellent ways! We saw and talked to Heidi’s son two hours after we got here! Really a miracle as there are 2600 young missionaries. We came in with 105 senior. We have not even talked to all of them but many! They are all outstanding people from all over snd going all over. Some favorites were in our district. One couple from Montana going as employment specialists to New York, New York. Taylor’s. Bertetts returned mission president from Mexico going as communication specialists to Mexico! Allen’s from Gilbert Arizona going West Virginia institutes like us!! Love all of them! The Badgers from Mapleton are coming with us to Alaska to record the building of the new temple! The Swenson’s who we paired up with to teach. They are from salt Lake, going to palmyra. As we got to know them we realized she and I taught school in Firth together 48 years ago! We were actually great friends but never connected after for who knows why!!
At meals and when ever we can we talk with those around us. We’ve found people from England, French speakers from Montreal! Sister from the Netherlands! Missionaries going all over the world including Layton Utah mission. We know we travel to Alaska with 30 young missionaries but have not met any yet!!
Our preach my gospel teachers were Sister Lunt and Brother Mason. Amazing young people we really enjoyed.
We had a great devotional with Elder Nattress , the same general Authoity that spoke at Island Park this summer! We have also had devotional by our MTC president that Elder Bednar has been recorded in and they have been very wonderful. One a girl who was raised in McCammon shared her story. It was amazing! We also got to go across the street to the temple Thursday!
We are in a motel down town and eat lunch and dinner in the MTC cafeteria!!! Wow that is an experience!!
Our teacher today is from the Philippines and really helped us have a feel for our future in Alaska. Two more short days and we are done here!!
Also a highlight was going to Joshua’s house and spending sat evening with ‘‘em and watching the game. That was great fun.
