The MTC is such a wonderful learning experience. Some days have been challenging, more from the standpoint that we are not used to sitting in a learning environment everyday all day, but we have learned a lot even though we have been here before. Guess you CAN teach Old Dogs new tricks. :) The Spirit here is wonderful and we so admire the young Elders and Sisters. Their training is so much more intense than ours. They are incredible!!
Our District and our teachers, morning and afternoon. Elder Hoggan was asked to be the District Leader. We had Sister Kacher and Brother Bellingham as teachers. Fabulous Teachers!! Last week we learned Preach My Gospel all week. And yes we discovered many ways we can us this training in our CES assignment. :)
And most of you know that we have seen Anthony, our grandson, here at the MTC. He leaves for Armenia soon. He is doing great and has the language down pretty good. We see him everyday and get to give him a big hug. :) Such a cool experience. We found him one day in the MTC Bookstore. Here is a picture.
We got to see Marilyn on Friday and watched the BYU game at her house. (so sad :(:( the game I mean. Sad for Taysom Hill) It was great to spend time with her. Today, Sunday we went to visit Scott and Terry and had a nice visit with them. Sorry I didn't take pictures of them. We've got to be more picture minded!!
Tonight we had a freside with Vai Sikahema, former BYU football star, and pro football player. He is from Tonga but lived most of his life here in the US. He retired in football with the Philadelphia Eagles and now works for NBC in Philadelphia in Sports announcing. He is also a stake president. He had some great stories, fun and inspiring. He showed us how we can all easily be missionaries. It was awesome!!
We leave on Wednesday after a few days of CES training, and will stay one night with Bruce and Millie, another night with Uncle Dave and Aunt Florence, one night in Liberty, MO. The next day we plan to spend some time at Adam ondi-Ahman, then drive on to Bloomington, IL where we will watch Madison play a college soccer game. We will spend the night there then go to church, then drive down to Leah and Chris's and spend Sunday night with them and Monday day. We are considering driving on a couple of hours in the evening toward Huntington, as we have a meeting with the CES director and the Stake President the next day, Oct. 14th Tuesday, at 6 pm in Huntington.
Truly this is the Lord's work and there is much to do! We hope we can be diligent and do our part in building the Lord's Kingdom and prepare for the coming of our Dear Savior Jesus Christ. We love Him so much and we hope we will show that love by our actions.
We love you all! Be busily engaged in good works every day!! Please show the Grandchildren this blog so they can see the pictures and read it too. Thanks and love to all our Family!!!
