Day 3 at the MTC. Jumping in!

May 15,2013

Another day at the MTC and our brains felt poured full of information. We came back and just flopped on the bed for a half hour before we could move.Today was our first teaching experience with an “investigator”. She was an older women, widowed with a son and his family living with her.. We had many things in common and felt at ease right away. She was receptive to our words and we were able to testify and challenge her. Elder Forsyth and I worked very well together and took turns teaching concepts without really following a set plan. It felt good. We were able to challenge her to read the Book of Mormon and she accepted. We set up another appointment with her. We were glad to have fairly simple first try. We have another go at it tomorrow and it sort of sounded like they may throw more kinks in it.
It was new missionary day so the place was just swarming with missionaries At supper, we sat with two cute little sister missionaries who had just arrived, one from Mexico City going to a California mission and one from Seoul Korea going to Honolulu Hawaii. They both spoke amazing English.

 To unwind we walked from our hotel over to the old tabernacle they are restoring for a temple and also walked around the historic County courthouse. Both with wonderful old architecture.

 Then we just walked down some of the side streets and saw some beautiful old houses.

Thanks Corinne for the card and hand lotion for my dry hands. I love it!
