One week at the MTC

End of the MTC

We left the MTC yesterday.  We will be in Salt Lake City for medical training next week and then leaving for Chicago on Friday.

The MTC experience was much like that for the young missionaries.  We spend considerable time studying Preach My Gospel.  It is a remarkable book!  We developed lesson plans and then practiced on “investigators” They were member volunteers that served as investigators.  Our investigators were very kind.  Some of the other couples got some that were less cooperative.  One of the couples had the investigator initially refuse to let them in.  Another invited the sister to sit on his lap.  Overall it was an interesting time.  It was easier to teach about the restoration that we expected.  We also became more convinced that the true missionary pamphlet is the Book of Mormon.

We also developed an appreciation for what our boys went through in the MTC.  We at least got to leave each night.
