Stake Primary MTC Program

This past Saturday we were involved with a special program that the Stake Primary put together at the Stake Center.
They divided up the youth into MTC mission groups representing 8 different countries. They set up work stations to teach the children about the things that missionaries have to learn to go on their mission.

We were part of the England Mission and we were the language teacher for the class. We taught them a scripture in English. These little 6 years old we had in our MTC class were amazing! They picked up the language very quickly and were so attentive to our every word. They truly love the gospel experience and are developing strong testimonies. What a pleasure to work with such wonderful children.

Total attendance was around two hundred children. We had twenty two in our English MTC. The leaders were mainly parents and they escorted the groups around the different work stations to learn different essentials to being a missionary. Everything from food preparation to time management. The children were paired up and then assign a district leader (parent). Our Zone leader for the English MTC was Joko Gardena, one of the High Counselors in the Stake. He is truly amazing with the children. He was good to us old duffers that couldn't speak Spanish and were trying to teach a scripture to the children too.

We truly love the people here in our ward, stake and the country as well. They are just so genuine and loving...
Americans could take a lesson on family values from these people. They truly love their families and in turn reach out and love and help others..
