We just finished our week at the MTC in Provo Utah. What a week of activities, mostly with the Preach My Gospel Manual. A group of returned missionaries were our teachers and they taught us throught the week how to give lessons and ideas on dealing with potential investigators. It was really a stretch and out of our comfort zone because we were giving lessons to investigators at the MTC by the second day. The lessons consisted of a spiritual journey, an overview and a lesson. We gave five lessons. We struggled along with 50 toher senior missionaries trying to give the lessons after one day of reading. We ate with them, laughed with then, and enjoyed sharing stories with them. We learned to love them very mcuh. One of them even suggested we have a reunion in eighteen months. We was very impressed with the MTC, it has thousands of missionaries coming and gong all day long and they are all very respectful to the senior missionaries and treat us like royalty. They open our doors, smile and greet us and even let us get in front of them in the lunch line. We were impressed to find out the MTC is cleaned solely by the missionaries giving service. We learned a lot and are really looking forward to getting into the mission field and giving our very first Real lesson. We LOVED the MTC. We have a great love for our Savior, Jesus Christ and are looking forward to serving him. It was a very spiritual experience. We really love the Lord and are proud to serve him. We LOVE being missionaries!!!!!!
