We arrived at the MTC on Monday morning, November 29th.  Some very nice elders helped us get our luggage out of the car and into our room.  From there we had a lot of 'procedures' to go through.

These are some happy missionaries!  We've looked forward to this date forever and it has finally arrived!  This is the easy part, however.  Now the work really begins.  Classes, classes, classes.

 

This is our language tutor, Hillary Eckstrom.  She's a darling!

She hasn't let me get discouraged, even though I'm pretty pathetic at Dutch.

There are Christmas lights on the trees in the walkways, and the atmosphere is so beautiful that you feel like you walk about 2 feet off the ground.  We really enjoyed the time we spent here, even though it wasn't long.

Goodbye MTC - We're pumped and ready to go!
