"Graduating" from the MTC

"This evening we 'graduated' from the MTC. It has been an empowering, spiritual experience that we will never forget. Tonight we walked over to the temple and enjoyed the spirit of that holy place. The weather is perfect and we are enjoying the brilliant fall colors on the trees around the MTC. There are over 2500 missionaries here. They said that we are the largest group of Senior Missionaries. Our Welfare Group is pioneering the new cross-training approach of preparing us to serve in Humanitarian Aid, Addictions/Recovery, Perpetual Education, Employment and more. We met a Church employee from Johannesburg in our Career Workshop class yesterday. He is a bishop there that we may be working with in Africa. It was fun to meet him and hear his "local boy" accent." - Sister Basso

"My mom is still blessing people with her photography talent. Here's a picture that she took of some friends that they met at the MTC. It was published on the church's newsroom site. I am positive this will just be the first of many opportunities to share one of her many talents." - Melia
