I have just one P-Day left here in the MTC, and things are starting to get busy around here. This week I got to help host the new missionaries coming in, which was an awesome opportunity. Over 700 missionaries got here yesterday. That night, we got a bunch of new missionaries headed to Thailand, and so my companions and I got the opportunity of showing them around the MTC. It was amazing to see how quick the other Thai missionaries took them in, and welcomed them to the MTC. They’ve only been here for a couple of days, but their testimonies are already an inspiration for me. Some of these missionaries are coming from the Philippines, coming thousands of miles across the world to be taught Thai in English, when English isn’t even their first language, in order to go teach the people of Thailand about the wondrous Gospel of Jesus Christ.
One of our Czech teachers is leaving this week, so on her last day teaching us, she got to spend time talking about the mission, showing us pictures and telling stories about the wonderful people she got to teach and meet in the mission field. It was so much fun to hear, and it helped to get us all very excited to get out and begin teaching.
That’s probably it for this week. Emails will probably get a little longer in a couple of months when I’m out of the MTC. I’ll be sending another email with some photos in a little bit.
