MTC

Although this was meant to be the first posting. It wasn't-------We have to say, the MTC is awesome and the Senior Missionaries are treated with special care. The young sisters and elders are all so polite, respectful, and kind. The Spanish tutors were excellent. I wish we still had access but as Sister Bair, the temple matron here was told, "You are going to make lots of mistakes. It is best you start now." The MTC religious instructors were also exceptional. Our District consisted of Elder and Sister Rix heading on their second mission. The first one was in South Africa. This one will be in Uganda. The Pearsons and Vollmars were from Idaho and were heading to Texas and California respectively. Vollmars had already served a mission in Pennsylvania. The number of missionaries headed out on their second, third, and fourth missions were surprising. Idaho seems to be the state harvesting the most senior missionaries. We learned so much in the MTC and enjoyed soaking up the spirit offered there. The food was good but it is a good thing we only stayed 4 days or you might have had to roll us out of the place.

Special thanks to Don & Chris Rognon for taking us down to the MTC and for Mike and Gwen Evans for taking us to the airport at 3 in the morning.
