Another early morning!  I got up at 5:45 a.m. to shower and dress; Gary getting up right after.  We met up with another couple from our District, Elder and Sister Harris (who are from California….I think near where we are going to serve).  We gave them a ride to the MTC for breakfast and to begin our day.  We also gave them a ride to the Marriott last night.
When we began our meetings of the day, we found out that some of the Districts had to be dissolved and the couples joined with other districts, because some of the teachers were sick.  So, ours was one that was dissolved…..Gary no longer a District Leader…..that was a quick calling!
Today we began in earnest to study Preach My Gospel (hereafter called PMG).  Our young teachers were EXCELLENT!  We had lessons, discussion, and role play.  Our homework for the night was to do some more reading and prepare for tomorrows role play, where we meet with an “investigator” and present The Restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ.  This took awhile, and so we never got our reading done…lesson 2 in PMG, The Plan of Salvation.  Will have to do tomorrow when we have free time…like maybe after breakfast, or during breaks.  Today was a busy, busy day.  After dinner tonight, we had a MTC devotional at the Marriott Center, with all the missionaries at it.  Our speakers were Elder and Sister Maynes;  he is in the presidency of the seventy.  It was a very good evening.  It ended at 8 p.m.  Then we walked back to the MTC to get our car and drive back to the hotel to do our evening stuff….preparing for the role play of tomorrow.  This took some time.  Now to get ready for bed and sleep!  It is 10:30, and I am tired.  Tomorrow comes early!
Here was the schedule for the day:  Everyday starts at 8.  We started with large group meeting, then small group meetings until lunch, then large group meeting and small group meetings until dinner, then the devotional from 7-8.
