Mission Presidents Week at the MTC

We just returned home this evening from the MTC after being there for 5 days. It was a great experience and we loved meeting all the new presidents and their wives. Each one has a story of the preparations they made to get to this point. We loved hearing from the prophet, President Monson, on Sunday in sacrament meeting. We were blessed to hear from and interact with many of the General Authorities throughout the week. We learned a lot from them and were reassured that we could do this new assignment.

Monday night we were able to meet 6 of the elders that will be coming to our mission in July. They are great young men and we are anxious to meet all the other elders and sisters we will be working with.
We are working on packing up our bags tonight and trying to finish the last few loads of laundry before we head out to the airport tomorrow. Hopefully we can fit everything in and get a few hours of sleep for our last night in the nursery.

Thanks for all your love and support. My next entry will be from the other side of the world!
