Missionary Training Center!

Our journey begins!  After being set apart as Full Time Missionaries with a wonderful blessing from our Stake President, on Sunday July 6th, we began a week of Christ-centered learning and fellowship at the Missionary Training Center in Provo Utah.  We absolutely loved feeling the spirit there with thousands of young missionaries and many Senior Missionaries like us. 

It was especially meaningful and memorable being at the MTC together after Kristi had studied there in 1983 prior to her mission in Argentina.  We made new lasting friendships and thought the MTC is as much an immersive, inspiring, beautiful art gallery as it is a powerful force for good and light in the entire world as the missionaries go forth to serve in many lands and speaking many languages!

...We just finished our first week as Missionaries!  It's hard to put into words what we have felt and what we have learned.  From our instructors to new friendships, to all the wonderful devotionals, our hearts are full!  We have felt the Spirit in rich abundance as we have learned more about our Savior and His perfect love for all of God's children.  Never before have we had such a condensed time to think of and speak about our Savior.  We know we can go forward with confidence and the Spirit will be our guide as we become instruments in the Lord's hands.
