Third day at the Provo MTC

Dennis and I had the assignment of talking to a supposed investigator today. We will do this again tomorrow. The MTC has members come in and pretend to be investigators so we can teach them. It is a little intimidating for me since I have not served a mission as Dennis has. He took the lead and I chimed in when I could. We were supposed to get acquainted with the investigator and then teach her a lesson that we thought she needs in her life. We also asked her to commit to reading the Book of Mormon and praying about it. I was so grateful that Dennis took the lead.

We were told yesterday that there were about 1000 missionaries at the MTC. They actually had more sisters that elders. That is a fairly low census. However today 600 + additional young people arrived. 

I appreciate all the volunteers and paid teachers and employees that serve at the MTC. It is amazing to see how many saints are working in various capacities to build the kingdom if God. 

I still wonder what I am going to be capable of doing at the Mexico MTC. I have noticed that the women nurses who are with us at the MTC have husbands with very specific callings. They will work on the missionary cars or in the office. My point is that everyone I talk too knows what their mission assignment is. I really don't have a missionary job or know what I will be doing. 

After our medical training downtown I learned that so many missionaries have stress, fear, anxiety and problems adapting and learning the language that I would live to help them. Especially the sisters but also the elders if possible. I had trouble with the Spanish classes at the senior MTC and really struggled with feeling good about myself. I ended up feeling like I was rather dumb and unable to learn. I would feel so bad if other sisters felt that same thing when they just needed a little love and encouragement.
