At the MTC

This is the building where we stayed. We started classes at 8:00 am and had classes all day long. The first week we worked on sharing the Gospel, the second week was learning about Seminaries and Institutes and spending the last couple of days in Salt Lake City learning about the Perpetual Education Fund. we had great teachers and were with a wonderful group of senior missionaries going all over.

This is in front of the famous map. We are with Elder and Sister Nielsen and they were going to Malaysia.

This is our tutor, Sister Flores, that worked with us both when we were in Yuba City and then I had class with her and Dad had another tutor from 6-8 in the evening. By then it had been a really long day but she was very patient and we really appreciated all she did to get us working on the language. After classes Dad and I would walk up to Rock Creek Park and then run down the hill. I just loved that time of day. We kept thinking we would take pictures but usually forgot the camera or we got away to late and it was too dark.


The rules for senior missionaries and young missionaries are a little different. We were free to go do what we wanted to after classes and just had to check in and out. So on Saturday, Nathan and Emily picked us up in the morning and we were planning to go to the temple, but the Timpanogos Temple was closed as was the Jordan River so we ended up at the Oquirrah Hills Temple. It was very beautiful.


We did some shopping to get a few last minute things. And then we got to go to the shower for Nathan and Emily at Don and Jana's. That was just alot of fun.


The happy newly wed couple. It was really fun to see all who were there.






The kids had a great time out in the back. The weather was just perfect. Thanks to all for such a fun time and thanks for all the help while we were in the MTC.
