This is the Senior group that entered the MTC with us, August 4, 2008.Sister Barlow taught at the MTC.
Today we were to have flown out from Salt Lake to Lima. We would have arrived just before 11:00 Lima time. But all of the missionaries going to Peru have been delayed until possibly 28 August 2008. We will use the extra time to study Spanish in a class 6 hours a day.The MTC has been such a wonderful experience while we have been here. We arrived the 4th and had orientation, ate lunch, went to our first class before we ever got to our room. We have had two exceptional devotionals on Tuesday evenings. Both times a member of the Seventy spoke. I can't describe the feeling when over 2,000 missionaries sing Called to serve.
The first week classes were from 8:00 until 5:00 out of Preaching My Gospel. Everyone should read and study Preach My Gospel. It is truly inspired of God. We had to give the first four discussions to people playing the part as a non member. It is amazing how real it seemed. All of our investigators were touched by the spirit and agreed to be baptized. After dinner we had Spanish from 6:00 to 8:00. Then we went back to our room and studied and read for the next day's lessons.
This week we had the same schedule as far as hours go only we were taught the duties and software that we would be doing in the mission office.
From now on we are on the Lords time table as far as when we will be going to Peru. We have met such wonderful people here. The workers and staff, other couples and of course the young missionaries. They always want to help the Senior missionaries. They take our trays when we are finished in the cafeteria and always hold the door open for us.
I think the blessing of staying longer is to help us master the Spanish language.
We love the Lord and know that the Gospel is true. We anxiously await the arrival of our visas. We love each of you and pray the Lord bless you.
