Our MTC Experience!

This is the only picture we got at the MTC in Provo, Utah. 

We were set apart by Brent Nielson of the 1st Quorum of

Seventy on Monday night.  We got to have dinner with 

Dallin H. Oaks and hear him speak.  Neil L. Anderson had 

dinner with us another night and spoke there and again in a 

Devotional Tuesday night for all the missionaries!  Tuesday 

and Wednesday were filled with training classes from the

mission department, including the Missionary Executive 

Committee.  We even got to have Sister Bonnie Oscarson, 

who is on that committee, and taught us from the Adjusting

To Missionary Life booklet.  She is very insightful!  We 

loved hearing from her! We had wonderful training from all!

Our 3rd and last day of training happened in Salt Lake City. 

We had lots of Training in the Joseph Smith Memorial 

Building and then went out on Temple Square to teach with

the Sister Missionaries there.  These are the two we had the 

privilege of working with.  One was from South Korea 

and the other from Austria. They taught us, then we taught 

them.  They also took us to the computers where we got to

do some hands on teaching on the internet.  Great experience!

These Sisters do a wonderful job!

Our selfie from the Asian Sister! (She called herself!) Yes, 

we love them already and appreciate the lesson they taught us.

This quote was given to us in our training in SLC.  Mr.

Chamberlain was talking about a hill in Gettysburg, but 

his words has significance to how we might feel 

about some of our Church Historical Sites.

Elder David A. Bednar spoke to us in the Joseph Smith 

Memorial Building about teaching like the Savior, 

"One By One"... Great talk!  And he let us listen to the 

song he wrote with Paul Cardall, entitled, "One By One".  

It was beautiful.  I have the CD that contains that song 

but I left it home! :-(  Elder Bednar also had dinner 

with us that night!  We sure enjoyed being with him!
