We checked into the Provo MTC (Missionary Training Center) on Monday, July 18, 2016. It's now Thursday night. It's been fun being surrounded by 2,600 young men and women missionaries here. 500 new missionaries checked in yesterday. They were instantly escorted by the "old timers" who have been here a week already:) It's an amazing experience watching them interact throughout the day and evening. The cafeteria is even more fun...like cutting through a herd of stampeding cattle. But their dedication is absolute and attitude so positive.
In our group of 72 seniors, 3 couples are headed to Philippines, 1 to Australia, 1 to Scotland, 1 to Norway and all the rest are either in the US with most working in their own stakes. Friday we wrap up and head home to finish packing for the 22 hour flight out on Sunday. We are ready!
