First Sunday at the MTC

Sundays are different for the missionaries from the rest of the week.  The staff and teachers have the day off.  We rely on our District leaders to keep things running smoothly.  

 District leaders and zone leaders meet together early on Sunday morning.  We have two Sacrament Meetings: one in French and one in English.   Then we have Sunday School (District Meeting) and Priesthood/Relief Society.   We gather all of the sisters  together after church and take a group photo.   Then off to lunch.

 Just a fews days here, the sisters start to form bonds of friendship and love. 

Sister Akpan and Acquah are from different countries, yet they love each other already!

Their lives become so entwined and most adjust quickly to the great life a t the MTC! 

Bon Appetit!

In the afternoon we have more interviews, an MTC devotional video and some personal study time.

Each Sunday evening we hold a Devotional together.  .

We learn together about our purpose as missionaries.

Is this a 'fishy' transfer?

The first day and a half are filled with checking in, Immunizations for some who still need them and the interview with the President where they receive their missionary tags.

Missionaries come from 13 countrries!  

They meet their companions for the first time.

We want all missionaries to be as healthy as they can on their missions.  They are not terribly happy about receiving immunizations.  They are good sports!

 

Elder Tibbitts comforts them and tries to put them at ease.  

 

 

They are relieved and happy to have this part of their experience over......for the time being!

Preparations To Leave MTC

One thing that happens in the MTC that the missionaries do not like are immunizations.  Our nurse has the perfect name, she gives the missionaries lots of Comfort as they receive their shots.  

Sister Enoruwa and Sister Udo let Comfort know how happy they are that the shots are now finished!

Elder Duaryenneh is a nurse too!  He loves getting shots!
