As a new group of missionaries arrives at the MTC we take a minute to contemplate our purpose.
In the last 18 Months we have seen around 2,000 young missionaries cast their nets and become Fishers of Men
Our purpose is to invite others to come unto Christ by helping them receive the restored gospel through faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, repentance, baptism, receiving the Gift of the Holy Ghost and enduring to the end.
Elder Hill works feverishly every three weeks to organize the missionaries
Sister Hill reviews health records and organizes immunizations for those that are missing some
Brother Tai tracks the missionaries on their flights in and makes sure that we have someone at the airport to meet each flight with missionaries on it
We have wonderful Sister Teachers who prepare and file missionary particulars
Then the magic starts as they all begin to arrive. This 3 weeks we will host 100 missionaries
We meet in Groups of 8-10 who speak the same language (French or English) to cover some basics
We then have the missionaries visit with President Brubaker for a few minutes individually and receive their missionary badges
Dates and temple recommends are reviewed
Emails are sent home to inform parents of safe arrival at the MTC
We are so excited to have this current group with us!
