Missionary Training Center
February 4th, 2004 - Jared began Missionary service at the Mission Training Center (MTC) in Provo, Utah. First stop - parking the lugage outside with that of about 400 other Elders and Sisters who also began their missionary service this day.
President and Sister Owen held 4 orientation sessions for about 400 new missionaries. About 2,000 missionaries are presently at the Provo Utah MTC.
Removed since Rob's departure the playing of Mormonads (including one about sending your daughter off to college). This was replaced by MTC information including the schedule of the day for new missionaries....
