- It's very exciting! It's Terrific!
- The MTC has about 3800 missionaries right now.
- Today, 127 Senior Missionaries entered - the record is 128.
- On Wednesday, 600 new single missionaries will enter - 100 every 30 minutes.
- They received their name tags and now have to wear them all the time.
- They had to introduce themselves as "Elder and Sister" Higgins - don't forget.
- During introductions a couple introduced themselves as Elder and Sister Jenkins from Kennewick Washington.
- Knowing that George and Dorothy Jenkins from Bandon moved to Kennewick Washington, Nana and Papa spoke with them when they had a chance. Come to find out... the couple who introduced themselves was George and Dorothy's son and his wife.
- Today's class
- The rules: what to do and what not to do
- Don't let the young missionaries us your electronic devices - they will ask
- Motivational speakers
- Love your area and members from Day 1 - they will know it
- Enjoy it
- Huge cafeteria - they cycle folks through pretty quickly.
- lots of options, lots of tables, lots of missionaries
- young single missionaries have 26 min for lunch
- Senior missionaries have 90 min
- Nana is grateful for the "extras" and "differences"
- Sunday afternoon the young missionaries are allowed to walk to the Provo Temple and take pictures, etc.
- Nana and Papa happen to be there Sunday afternoon and saw several hundred missionaries
- they said it was really neat
- They haven't met anyone else going to Nashville yet - but maybe they will.
- Nana and Papa are staying at the Marriott in Provo and will head back to Colorado Friday night.
NOTE: I'm sure there is a better way to describe the "regular" missionaries, but "young" seems to be what comes to my mind tonight.
PREDICTION: let me be the first to say - Mission number 1 for Nana and Papa... others to follow!
