I finished up at the MTC today. We came up with all kinds of scenarios to test me in every aspect of the office. I know that I’m over housing and phones but I trained for vehicles, general secretary and travel as well since we had so much time. We role-played contacting and inviting people to let us come and teach a lesson about Christ. We bore our testimonies. I met one more teacher today, Brother Barham from Sandy, Utah. He was also a great teacher and he spent the entire day with me today.
Final things I did was go pay my bill for the cafeteria and check-out at the front desk. I stopped and said good-bye to a few new friends that were finishing up their last classes for visitors center and Mormon Trail. Sister Cole and I talked about how we will both be equal distance away from our grandchildren for the next 18 months and together we can do this. Elder Cole gave me a list of friends that are in Scotland and what to say to each of them when I meet them.
On the way out I was walking down a hall to head out the door and I noticed a door ajar with a man sitting inside. I happened to glance at the name plate on the door and it was President Dan Mehr. He was my bishop when I was in 26th Ward. I also had no idea that he was a District President at the MTC so I knocked and we had a nice visit.
Finishing up my office classes two days early is a blessing. I now have two days during my grandkids Spring Break to enjoy them. I have lots of errands to do in the morning but then we are heading to the Aquarium and then to This is the Place Monument on Thursday. Tender mercies…
Congratulations! We are so pleased you will be on your way soon!
Love you lots,
Russ and Carolyn Hanson
