Just a report on the first day. We still have dinner and the to do which will end at 7:15.
We got checked in without too much trouble and no more shots were required. We had two orientation sessions that were quite good, then went to lunch—way too many choices but we did get BYU creamery chocolate milk.
We went to a meeting after lunch where we were assigned our districts. Dad was assigned as district leader for our district with three other couples in our district. It looks like Dad will be talking in church on Sunday and I’ll be leading the music.
The last meeting of the day was a meeting where we meet the MTC Mission Presidency. It was phenomenal!!! They talked about all of the blessings the Lord has promised not only for us but our families into the fourth generation. I can’t express how wonderful that meeting was. The mission president shared the story of a petite young sister from China who had been called to Korea. Five weeks into her MTC training the Brethren called the MTC president telling them that they wanted to change her call. When he told her tears rolled down her cheeks. He told her the “rest of the story.” There were Elders in Turkey but they could not teach any women. The brethren prayed about it and picked 4 sisters—one was serving in England and two other somewhere else and this young Chinese sister was the fourth. She had to join the Elders who were already 5 weeks into their language training. She said okay this will be my seventh language. After the 2nd day she told the Mission president’s wife that she picked up a paper and could read it. After a week she told the Mission president she was getting the speech down and after two weeks the Elders were worried. The mission president asked about what. She said they were she would beat them.
The mission president was just telling that assignments can get changed, but it is all right because it is the Lord’s work and He will make it work. This doesn’t do the session justice, but it has been wonderful!
Thanks for all of your help getting us here.
Love,
Dad and Mom
