1st week at MTC
Monday through Friday we studied Preach my Gospel and learned how to give lessons as a missionary.
This was a challenging but great learning experience. Our teachers were Brother Keddington,Porter, and Lystrup. They were amazing returned missionaries. The senior missionaries were organized into districts of 8. We practiced by teaching "investigators" and other senior couples the first 2 discussions. On Tuesday night we attended a devotional with Elder Paul E. Koelliker of the Seventy as the main speaker. It was inspiring.
Below is a photo of our district. Our afternoon teachers Brother Lystrup and Brother Porter are in the middle. From left to right on the left side are Elder and Sister Yaskus (Lithuania) and Elder and Sister Wilckens (Tennesse). On the right side of us is Elder and Sister Steurer (Rome).
Below is a photo of our morning teacher Brother Keddington with us.
Today we attended a live broadcast of the Brigham City Temple dedication (139th Temple). It was a spiritual feast. In talking to Cameron he confirmed that Calgary will be the 140th Temple dedicated.
After supper today ( and by the way the food is great) we attended a fireside with Stephen B. Allen, Managing Director of the Missionary Department, as the main Speaker. He was a very dynamic speaker. He had us both laughing and crying.
Tomorrow we begin training in the Provo Temple. We leave for London on October 1st.
Our greetings to everyone.
Elder & Sister Kiddle
