There and Back Again: Week 3

THE Mission Training Center (MTC) was a marvelous place where we gathered with 4,000 other missionaries getting ready to go out into the world and learned about the Character of Christ and how to invite people to know Him better. We focused on principals of Faith in Jesus Christ and His Atonement, Repentance (use that atonement!), Baptism, Receiving the gift of the Holy Ghost, and Enduring to the End. We were in a district of 8 missionaries the whole week we were there. Some missionaries who are learning foreign languages are there 9 weeks! We grew to love our teachers and our classmates. Then we drove for days, stopping at our daughter, Autumn's house to play, then arrived at our NEW home in Nauvoo, Illinois. We were met by about 10 other Senior Missionaries (old people lol) who helped us unload our car in minutes. We unpacked and made a dinner of sorts...we REALLY need to find the nearest grocery store tomorrow...and headed out to a very fun game night where we met about 40 other senior missionaries who are serving in Nauvoo. Something that was put on my radar: There are so many ages and stages of lovely humans serving here. God will take you as you are and bless you for doing whatever you can. There is no competition or comparing.
