MTC Open House

I loved being here with all my boys!

The Provo MTC added some new buildings and they held an open house so we got a chance to check them out. I was really excited to take my boys to see where the missionaries live for a little bit of their mission. We had tickets at the same time as Melanie and her kids, so we all went together.

It was fun to see the old parts of the MTC that Randy and Melanie remember from their missions and hear their memories. We also walked through the new areas of the MTC, and we could see where the boys might go. There are MTCs all over the world now, so you don't always start at the Provo MTC anymore.

Mark already looks like a missionary. He is growing up so fast! 

This map is huge and I have seen lots of pictures of missionaries by this map.
Dax pointed to Japan. Dad pointed to Alaska. Seth pointed to the only land he could reach.
Mark pointed to Brazil, and Mom pointed to Italy.

The boys checked out the bunk beds.  

Dax was really excited that he could play basketball at the MTC.  

Seth loved the flags.  

Mom enjoyed the tour more than anyone!

The best part of the tour was interacting with the missionaries, asking where they were from, where they were headed, and having a few moments to see their excitement. Mom asked almost every missionary she saw a question and there were a lot of missionaries.

It was a great day and we enjoyed walking through the MTC, especially because the chances of doing it again are very small.

There were a lot of kids in this group! 

The grounds really are beautiful!
