Relief Society is Organized the First Sunday

The MTC functions as a Zone in Missionary Terms, But is also Designated as a Branch of the Church. 

The MTC President and his wife serve as the President of the Branch and President of the Relief Society. The counselors to the MTC President and their wives also serve as the counselors to the Branch President and Relief Society President.

Our Office Couple Dell and Deni Hill from Bountiful are serving as the equivalent of Executive and Relief Society Secretaries.
