Wednesday, Feb 8th- Today was our day for the TRC- most all of the seniors are nervous. Our class was slotted to be in the first group to go.  Our "investigator" was a R. Guillon- Description: He has no religious training. His family didn't belong to any church. His parents never talked about God at home. He hasn't investigated any church and doesn't know if there is a God.
Craig and I had a good visit with him, we didn't use any of the helps that we had planned on. We also flowed easily from one of us talking to the other taking over. We used the scriptures, testimony and stories and we asked him questions.  We didn't always wait for him to completely answer us. We did teach him about prayer and he was willing to try with our help. We did place a Book of Mormon with him and he accepted our challenge to read Mosiah 3. He also committed to come to church on Sunday if we would pick him up.
After a break we met two-on-one with our teachers for evaluation. They thought we had done a good job.
Now to prepare to do this again on Thursday afternoon, this time about the Plan of Salvation. This was our study focus that night.

Tuesday Feb 7th- Picture taken in front of the famous MTC map. Everyone tries to get their picture taken here pointing to where you are going. You notice that I can't reach Nova Scotia- guess I'm going to the Bermuda Triangle. Today we start our "Preach My Gospel" classes. We have 4 couples in our class. Our morning teachers are Brother Barney and Brother Keddington.  Afternoon teachers were Brother Pike and Wozniak. All are returned missionaries and are great.

We are preparing to present a lesson on the restoration. On Wednesday we will have the opportunity to go to the TRC  and teach a "reccomend-holding" investigator. Our instructors will record this so that they can give us feedback. Gulp!!!!
Tuesday evening was the weekly devotional. Pres. Edgley of the Presiding Bishopric and his wife spoke. The mission choir was so beautiful. The opening hymn for the evening was "Called to Serve". This is the song that Craig and I met on during our first missions over 40 years ago.
