MTC

We did it 1st day!! Started by getting greeted by Brother Huish who volunteers here on Mondays - Shari's uncle - Got through our introductory rounds--checking in, etc.Met the senior missionary trainers--Brother and Sister Stock - on my family tree I discover -- about 30 couples here going to all parts of the world - 3 couples toRussia, two to the Phillipines, one to India, one to Bulgaria, several to United States, Canada, Austrialia, Caribbean Island, and just one to England :) among othersAte lunch with at least a thousand missionaries - met Camma and Wendall Zollinger (from Chevy Chase Ward many years ago) going to D.C. National Archives (will live in Kensington House Jill where I think you're parents live, saw Becky Douglas here for language training (husband will be mission president in some Spanish speaking mission)she now lives in Manhatten, Dad called as a District leader (he turned to me and said Oh crap!!) Don't think it involves anything except meeting in small teaching groups with them and any emergencies they might have (he says there better not be any)Went to look for shoes for Dad (long story) and to the bank, got our Visa (Dad's relieved) - Dinner again - wasn't even hungry - Found out we have to teach pseudo investigatorsas part of our Preach My Gospel training - forgot our alarm clock - hope we get up by 6am - ready for bed in new accommodations (sort of like a Marriott hotel room without phone or TV :)All in all, went well for our first day!! Love to all the kids - Tell them Grandpa and Grandma are thinking about them -more tomorrow.Love,Mom
