We drove from Bountiful, Utah to the MTC the morning of April 30th. It was a cold rainy morning so I grabed my light jacket for the car. We had snowflakes over the point of the mountain. It was still cold when we arrived in Provo and as you see in the picture I did not remove my jacket. I do have a nice winter coat that would have look much nicer here.
There were 32 missionaries in our senior mission group. Those taking the group pictures chose to have our picture taken in two groups. It was interesting as the week went by we discovered that there were many going to the Utah, Salt Lake City Headquarters Mission.
We ask the group of missionaries going to Utah, Salt Lake City Headquarters mission to met us by the map for a group picture. I then found out that of the 32 senior missionaries 12 of us were going to the headquarters mission. There are four couples and 4 single sisters in our group. One of the single sisters is from Lima, Peru. What a choice group of missionaries.
OnThursday evening Elder Koberstein and I took a walk to T4 to look at the beautiful missionary artwork on display in that building. Each picture is lifesize and has a lesson for missionaries. T4 is one of the new buildings on campus (new since our 2013 MTC experience) used as a classroom building for the young Elders and Sisters.

I love the message on the plaques about each piece of artwork.

This is the brother of Jared mading stones to take to the Lord. He had faith that if the Lord touched each stone that they would give him light for their voyage to the promised land.

The stories of Nephi, Alma, Brother of Jared and Sons of Mosiah are found in the Book of Mormon. If you would like a free copy of the Book of Mormon or information of Joseph Smith let me know and I will get it to you.
