Behind the Scenes....

At the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah.
Along with the letter we received this week from Oliver (more to follow on that,) we got a memory card of photos. Here are a few, including some behind the scenes looks at everyday life during the 2 months of intense language and gospel teaching training.

The laundry room is where the action is on "P-day" - letter writing and email

Dinner at one of the cafeterias - its all you can eat!

8-10 hours of study a day

Everyone is grouped into "districts" based on the language you are learning and which mission you are assigned to .  This is Oliver's district,  in P-day clothes (Oli's on the top bunk in white shirt.)

And now in usual clothes (Oliver is on the right in the red tie, looking relaxed.)

Oliver and his assigned companion in the MTC - Elder Reed - in their short haircuts.  Both are headed to Monterrey.

Oliver and Elder Reed pose in front of the Provo Temple, located across the street from the MTC.
