MTC in Provo - 5 Days of Learning to Teach

We enjoyed the MTC (Missionary Training Center) in Provo, but it was was a different experience.  Almost the entire week was spent on Preach My Gospel (the missionary lesson book). I guess they want every missionary, young and old, to understand how to teach basic principles of the gospel. You won't have time to cover the entire book, but you will understand the basic principles. We had times when we role played, practicing with other senior missionaries, sometime being missionaries and teaching and sometime being the investigators and asking questions.  You will also enjoy getting to know various missionary couples. One of the missionaries in our group was a mission president and a temple president. He said he wanted to continue to serve so he and his wife are going on a senior mission.

I wished we had some Spanish training, but that was offered to us at home 3 weeks before we came and we had so much to do that we could not take advantage of it.  Keith and I have been doing our own training with a variety of Spanish lesson books and reading the Book of Mormon in Spanish.  At the MTC we found that there is infield training in Spanish so we will be trying that out too.
