The MTC is filled with 1200 enthusiastic smiling young Elders and Sisters who seem to jog everywhere they go, but are willing to stop long enough to carry bags or open doors for us slower senior missionaries.
We meet daily with 68 other seniors who will soon go to the four corners of the world. Whether they will serve in places like Russia, Australia, Vietnam or stay in the United States, each person has been an example of dedication. Many of these couples have served multiple missions, one couple having served eleven different times. Our district included the Every's (North Carolina), the Boones (North Carolina), us (Central American Area), and the Neimans (Chicago).
A highlight of our week here was when Jay and one other 'gray hair' joined 800 youthful missionaries in a choir singing "Where Can I Turn for Peace". The last words of this song describe our Savior, "Constant He is and kind, love without end." Our goal for our mission is to be more constantly kind and filled with love.
Tomorrow we leave for Guatemala. We love you all!
