Christensen Honduras Mission: Day 3 at the MTC

Day 3 was another great day at the MTC. In the morning we heard from President Oaks, Elder Uchtdorf, Elder Stevenson, Sister Emily Belle Freeman, and Elder Kearon. Then in the afternoon we had a discussion panel with Elder and Sister Basset, Elder and Sister Budge, and Elder and Sister Ringwood. Then in our break out session we were taught by Elder and Sister Palmer, Elder and Sister Wada, and Brother Droubay. Then we went to a fireside with all the missionaries in the MTC. Elder Soares and his wife spoke. It was so cool to sing Called to Serve with all the young missionaries. They sang To Bring the World His Truth for the closing song and instead of singing "we will be the Lord's missionaries", they sang "we are now the Lord's missionaries" to bring the world His truth. After the fireside we had dinner with Elder Gong and all of the mission leaders going to Mexico and Central America. We sat with Elder Nash and his wife Shelley. It was really sweet, Elder Gong and Sister Gong bore their testimonies in Spanish.

Funny fact about President Christensen. He does not like sheep in pictures of the Savior. He said there were way too many sheep in this picture.

Elder Kearon did a role play of his conversion story. It was really impactful.

President Christensen played a prank on me when we got our mission call. He put a fake call in an envelope. The fake call was to Bengaluru India. I freaked out when I opened it. He found the President who is actually serving in Bengaluru India and took a picture with him.
