When a missionary enters the Missionary Training Center in Provo Utah, one usually takes their picture pointing at their mission on a giant map. I either didn’t remember to do it or simply never had the opportunity. I was only there for 12 days when the norm was at least 14 if not longer due to learning languages. I remember walking by the map, but there were so many Elders and Sisters there that it was quite overwhelming. Crowds were everywhere constantly. It’s amazing that anyone knew where to go. Anyways, when I arrived to Washington, my first area was Richland in the Tri-Cities. At my Zone Leader’s abode there was a huge map. They stayed in the basement of a member family named the Ostlers. They are well known and extremely successful. Their large house was impressive. You’ll definitely see more of their house on this blog as far as the missionary section. I had many fun days there on Preparation days and exchanges with the Elders. At certain times missionary companionships will switch around for the day to shake things up and offer opportunities for training and support.
Here at the Ostler’s giant map, four months into my mission, I finally got my “MTC” photo :)
