The MTC Experience Begins

We entered the MTC today, Monday, May 2, 2011. It was a day of check-in, discussion and lots of breaks. I don't mind the breaks.  Our Typhoid shots expired, so we will get a booster shot on Wednesday. I think we're inoculated against most everything now and we are taking a few extra testimonies in case we lose one or two along the way.

I'm waiting for the Philippines training... sitting in a steam room while teaching the gospel. Maybe they are saving that until tomorrow.

Just in case you missed it... we're going here! Baguio, Philippines.

 Unusual flowering trees are in bloom this week, despite the cold and snow.

 There are four and a half boards like this with pictures of all the mission presidents in the world.

 This is the building we have our training classes in each day. It's the same building we have devotional on Tuesday. We also go to the bookstore, cafeteria, and TRC-Training Resource Center. We will have our first teaching experience with a live investigator on Wednesday. Pray for us... no pray for the investigator!
