We went into the
MTC on Monday and had most of our classes in this building. Rex and I are at the famous
MTC map with us pointing to England where we are going to serve for the next 18 months. Below are some friends we made and where they are going. There were 30 couples in training this week and they were going anywhere from Mongolia to Norway to Peru to Spain to Russia to Africa to the
Philippines to
Guatemala to Korea to
Samoa to Canada. We loved meeting them all. You can see the picture of the whole group of us. Rex and I are on the top row. I will never forget the
fireside we had on Tuesday night as we watched 2030 young 19 year old missionaries come into that auditorium. Talk about
Helaman's warriors. There were no dry eyes among the senior missionaries. How we loved and were moved to tears with the amazing training we received. You would be totally amazed at the organization of this great missionary program. Most of our instructors were x-mission presidents, young returned missionaries and returned senior couples who have served multiple missions. They were all inspiring. We have learned so much, made many new friends, and cried for joy
a lot. We can't wait to get to England. We have had 16 hour non stop days but tonight we are at Kristie's and Joe's. We will go to the temple tomorrow, wash clothes and do a little shopping and then return to the
MTC tomorrow night. Sunday has some amazing meetings and then we will be on our way to England on Monday. Yeah!!!!!
