MTC Day 2

Flags and MOUNTAINS

Any thing good you have heard about the MTC is true.  We have had a great day of instruction
using the Preach My Gospel book as our guide, as we are learning to teach.  Tomorrow we get to practice with some volunteer investigators.  We should probably be nervous about it and stay up half the night preparing, but instead, we went to a devotional for the missionaries where Elder L. Tom Perry was the speaker.  He was his usual fabulous self. The Apostles have a way of getting right to the heart of what is important.  He spoke to us about how the Lord sends us out 2 x 2.  That way we can both testify,(law of witnesses), and support each other.  Then he gave 5 points to being a good missionary.  Hope I can be one of those. After being spiritually fed, we stopped at the BYU creamery and fed our bodies, like we needed it????
I am posting a couple of pictures of the MTC grounds.  The biking statue is titled "Anxiously Engaged".  The other statue is of Samuel H. Smith brother of the Prophet Joseph Smith and the first missionary of this dispensation.  They have flags of all the nations where there are missionaries.  This is a sample of them with the mountains in the background.  It makes me sigh to think there are no mountains in Florida.  I may obsess and take all the pictures of mountains I can while I am here so I can look at them and sigh again in Florida.

Anxiously Engaged

Samuel H. Smith

I guess you can all see I am a new blogger and cannot get Samuel to stand up straight even though he is upright in my picture file.  But it past the curfew for missionaries, so hie ho, hie ho, it is off to bed I go.
