MTC- Provo

As I entered the MTC, I was in a state of complete shock! Haha... I was just dropped of at the front door by my parents and I didn't know what to expect. I walked into the MTC and saw hundreds of missionaries! They were everywhere! It was cool because I got to see my childhood friend from Burely, Spencer Peterson, as we were walking in. That helped me calm down a little. I had 2 sister missionaries escort me to my room to drop off my suitcases. Then they took me down to a classroom to wait and meet the rest of my district. I was super shy when I walked in. There were a couple of Elders in there but we really didn't say much to each other. All of the district arrived and I was very excited to get to know everyone. We had several great elders and sisters and we were anxious to work!

The first day in the MTC I found out that I would be leaving in 3 weeks to go to the MTC in Peru. I was a little shocked by that but very excited to get to Peru! The schedule in the MTC was pretty intense. We would start the morning with breakfast and then have our personal and companionship study. That was always really cool... to start studying the lessons and figuring out how we would be teaching them. We would then have hours of class time with our teachers. They would teach us spanish grammar and also how to teach.. in english and in spanish. We would then go to lunch and have more study time and classes. Preparation day was really fun in the MTC. We would usually go to the temple in the morning and then spend the day writing letters, cleaing, laundry, and spending time outside. We also had devotionals every Tuesday night. I had the great opportunity to hear Elder Holland speak in person. His talk was so good and I learned so much. I will always remember my experience in the MTC and all the wonderful times I had there.
