Five Days at the MTC

Wow!

What a great week at the MTC. We arrived on Monday morning after driving on snowy roads most of the way down to Provo. We wandered from station to station with 37 other couples learning the ins and outs of the place. We were alright with all we learned until we found out that we each needed two more shots. They were almost as painful as paying for them ($308) One of the best experience was when we attended the devotional where Elder Kevin Duncan of the Seventy's spoke. Before his talk the audience of 2000 sang "Called to Serve". It was an amazing sight to see so many young missionaries sing so loud and with such conviction.


We spent a lot of hours with four other couples in our district. Elders and Sisters Jenkins, Murray, Hamblin and Pugley are amazing missionaries and we had a lot of fun with them along with our great instructors Brother Chinn and Hawkes. We may have been more than they bargained for some days!

At night we would travel to Highland and stay with our good friends Rick and Denise Nydeggar. We had fun visiting with them and had the best meal at Thanksgiving Point. Starving to Full to one short hour and bed time treats every night! Better than the Hilton!

Friday we said goodbye to our new good friends who are going all over the world. Good luck to us all,.
Onward ever onward!

  1. The Elder pulling his hair out must be trying to teach Steve something difficult - like how to stay awake during class.
