Well, as you can see from the picture we have been to the MTC this week. It was a fantastic week and so well-planned and carried out by the MTC leadership. From the get-go it was a great experience meeting with all the senior couples, seeing all the young missionaries, and many other things that impressed us. The young returned missionary teachers were very outstanding and the respect that is shown the senior missionaries is heart-warming.
We learned to teach from Teach My Gospel and use many of the concepts taught from there. Certainly we were out of our comfort zone, but it was good for us old dudes and we did learn a bunch. Tuesday evening at the weekly devotional, Elder Russell M. Nelson spoke to us about the Book of Mormon and it was great to hear him about two rows back from the pulpit.
Lynne and I are still trying to figure out how they feed so many people in the MTC everyday. We certainly didn't go hungry the whole time we were there. Our sleeping accommodations were great also-they put us up in the Marriot Hotel downtown Provo.
One of the highlights for me this week was that Lynne bore her testimony in Finnish last night at a multi-language testimony meeting. Our Finnish teacher met with us three times this past week and spent all his time working with Lynne. He is a great young man with a super spirit and speaks great Finnish.
All in all, the week at the MTC was a once-in-a-lifetime experience and it has to be experienced to know what it is like. Next week we spend in the Provo Temple.
