At-home MTC Experience

Dear Missionary,

As recently announced, changes in the COVID-19 situation now allow certain MTCs to train a small number of missionaries on-site. Although we are eager for everyone to have on-site training opportunities, this announcement does not change your training plan. Your MTC experience will be online in your home or another suitable location as previously announced.

Although this may be different from what you expected, your at-home MTC experience can be powerful and meaningful. As President Russell M. Nelson noted in April 2021 General Conference that “it takes faith to serve a mission during a pandemic.” We echo his witness that “it is our faith that unlocks the power of God in our lives.” Many missionaries report being surprised at the power of their at-home training experience. Their faith to press forward is unlocking the power of God in their lives. We invite your faith and are excited to help you have a powerful experience.

Please carefully read the two attachments to this email.

At-home MTC Experience for Missionaries: Please review and follow these guidelines for online MTC training.
Message to Missionary Families: You may choose to read this message with your family members to help them know how best to provide support during online training.

We are deeply grateful for your willingness to serve the Lord. The Lord trusts you and He will guide you as you strive to use this time for learning and devoted service.

With great love and appreciation,
Missionary Training Centers

Olá pessoal, ***Here's the real one*** What a quick, exciting, week! Like always, I will start off with the highlight. Only this week it was highlights with an "s"! We had another baptism! Rachael! She was baptized just last night and confirmed with the gift of the Holy Ghost. She has such a sweet testimony and has a way of praying that is so humble and personal. I was so very excited for her! Another highlight: General Conference! What an incredible opportunity we have every 6 months to listen to the words of the Lord's prophet, apostles, and other leaders of His Restored Church about topics that are so different yet all focused on Him. The world of commotion we live in will not become any less noisy any time soon. However, if we focus our lives on Jesus Christ and utilize His Atonement which he has already endured for us,  we will have His rock, His strength, as our foundation: a foundation that CANNOT fail. I am so humbled, excited, and awestricken that Cody is goi...

"You Ran To The End" -Sister Lindsey

Good morning everybody, Well, I'm going to have to start off this email in the most cliché way possible; I cannot believe, at all, that I am writing my last ever mission e-mail. The time truly has gone by so quickly. But in the spirit of all of my previous emails that I have written, I guess I must start off with this week's highlights. Brace yourselves... there are a lot of them: First of all, like always, I have to talk about baptism. Suellyn was baptized yesterday and is the newest member of the Church and its Relief Society here in the city. Her brother and sister, Ítalo and Magdalena, were baptized last week, and the Spirit ended up showing her that what we had been sharing was true. She rarely stayed in the room while we taught, but she heard everything. We invited her to say a prayer. She did it, and she got an answer. As the Lord had done His part, she went ahead and did hers. We taught her during the week and she was baptized after our "Group Conference." Spe...

OHHH... We're Half Way There!

Olá Irmãos e Irmãs, You might have already guessed since I went ahead and put it in the subject, but I have officially passed the halfway mark for my time in at-home MTC!  **There are a couple of things I feel I should address before I continue: 1) No, I was not breaking mission rules and listening to Bon Jovi before writing this email (the song's title is "Livin' on a  Prayer ," so I think we'd be good anyway) and 2) I'm not by any means saying I'm ready to be done with my MTC experience because it has been great and I've been able to meet some incredible people. I'm just saying I'm excited to get into the field and serve!** Not only that, but my official travel itinerary was sent to me during the week! I, officially, will be flying from Cody-Denver-Salt Lake City September 7th to begin my temporary assignment in Orem! "Why not take the direct flight from Cody to Salt Lake?," you may ask. I guarantee you it's because Heavenly Fat...
