Hello from the MTC

 
Hello from the Missionary Training Center!!!
 
We are very excited to report we have had a wonderful week!  We drove to the MTC on Monday the 3rd of October from Kristen and Zack's house....(We spoke in our ward in Orem on September 25th).  When we arrived at the MTC, we were instructed to go around to the north side of the building and as we drove around to the side, about 20 young missionaries were all wresting and jumping around and as soon as they saw us coming they started running towards us!  So we slowed down and when we stopped they all started pulling our luggage out of the back of our truck as fast as they could and started running into a nearby building.....we hadn't even gotten out of the truck yet!  When we finally got out, (we are senior missionaries you know), everything was out and one missionary came over to me and asked if there was anything he could carry upstairs????  I said, "well, I have a pillow you can carry upstairs"....he was so happy and ran upstairs as fast as he could!
 

 We have really had so many wonderful experiences!  We have been able to listen to wonderful speakers, like L. Lional Kendrick, an emeritus member of the Seventy, and the MTC President and his wife.  We are part of the largest group of Senior Missionaries ever to report to the MTC!  51 couples, 102 Senior Missionaries....going all over the world!!!  We were really surprised to hear where some of the missionaries were going!  Three couples are going to Guam!!!  We have been studying out of Preach My Gospel this week and we were able to meet investigators and practice our teaching skills!  We have made a lot of friends, and we are surprised we have supreme freedom!!!  We have been able to go shopping, go get ice cream and go for walks!
