Day 2 at the MTC

It was another great day at the MTC.  We got to hear from Elder Eyring (he was there, but his talk was pre-recorded), Elder Bednar, Elder Anderson, Elder Gong, and Elder Rasband in the morning.  We got to have lunch with Elder Stevenson and his wife!  In the afternoon we did break out sessions and we got to learn how to invite someone to sacrament meeting taught by Elder and Sister Ringwood, Elder and Sister Boom, and Brother John Boswell III.  Then we got to go meet with a group of missionaries and teach them how to invite someone to sacrament meeting. 

My uncle Kevin and Aunt Peggy are so nice to let us stay with them.  They live a few blocks from the MTC so we have been walking to and from the MTC each day.

President Oaks and President Eyring were there today and all of the members of the quorum of the 12 except Elder Holland. 

The choir comprised of elders and sisters from the MTC sang this morning.  Yesterday when we did our break out session, 3 of the sisters and 3 of the elders in our group said that they they had been in the choir that day.  It was the same choir today as yesterday and when I saw the 6 missionaries we had taught yesterday I thought, there is my missionaries.  I felt so much love for these missionaries that I had just spend 45 minutes with.  It gave me a glimpse of how much I am going to love the missionaries that are in my mission.  I can't wait to meet them.
