MTC: What's it REALLY like?

I've always wondered what the Mission Training Center was REALLY like. Well, now I know. There are 40 senior couples here. There are about 2000 19-21 year old missionaries here, and they are so cute. They are always holding the doors open for us, or offering to let us go before them in the cafeteria. And there are 400 teachers, mostly BYU students who are returned missionaries.

The teachers are enthusiastic and a lot of fun. One teacher could be a stand up comedian as easily as he is a teacher.

The rooms: cleanliness and newness: five stars

size: small but adequate

bed : I honestly looked around to see if there was another one for Lee.

Food: Delicious with infinite choices. Takes self-control to not gain weight here.

It's actually fun! I love it here. We are busy, but with enough breaks and variety to make the time fly by. We are learning and loving being with 40 other couples who are so much like us that we become instant friends with anyone we sit by. There is a spirit here that fills you with joy and is something I wish I could keep with me forever.

A couple of fun quotes for your consideration:

A new Beatitude: Blesssed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape.

It's better to have a sense of humor than a sense of murmur.
