Two of the 65,634 Missionaries..

We forgot to get pictures when we were set apart as missionaries.  BUT, we stopped as we were headed home and had our picture taken by some beautiful wild flower fields behind the Stake Center.  We had a wonderful experience with President Messer, Don, Raegan and Brandon.

We spent some Pre-Missionary Training Center days celebrating Easter with the Huebner’s

Always fun to watch the new missionaries arriving at the MTC on Wednesday’s. The new missionaries have a RED DOT on their badges and some have a deer-in-the- headlights kind of look, yet full of enthusiasm, ready to go to work!

This is our MTC District.  These Senior Couples will be serving in the Asia Area, Sacrament, Los Angeles (Hollywood), Hong Kong, and Martins Cove, Wyoming.  The entire 124 senior missionaries at the MTC this week is the largest group of seniors ever. 

There are 3000 missionaries at the MTC this past week.  Normally there are about 2200 missionaries and by July they are expecting 7000. 

Currently there are 65,634 missionaries serving throughout the world, 20,000 have received their calls but are not yet in the MTC, with an additional 6000 in the interview process.  It is so wonderful to be a part of the work of inviting others to come unto Christ.

We watched some of conference on TV in a tent at the Huebner’s.  Isn’t that what King Benjamin told us to do (Mosiah 2:1, 5-6) 

The Senior MTC housing is full so we HAVE to stay at the Marriott Hotel!

(Tough life of a missionary)

Three more days at the MTC, then on to WYOMING!
