Arrival Day - The Missionary Training Center

 On our way to the MTC, John and Connie drove us by the Old Provo Tabernacle that had an extensive fire which gutted the inside of the 150 year old building.  The LDS Church is in the process of restoring this historical building and making it a Temple.  The outside and inside are supported with amazing braces to keep the old brick structure in tact.  Bob and I remember attending a few meetings in the old Tabernacle when we were students at BYU 50 plus years ago.

 When we arrived the young missionaries quickly grabbed our suitcases to carry them to our room.

It is a tradition to stand in front of the world map and point to the location where one will be serving.  All mission calls come from the Prophet of the Lord.
