Well, have we had our eyes opened. We all found that our specific calling is only our specialty. However, it is also the most exciting part of the MTC experience. The primary purpose of all missionaries is to "bring souls unto Christ". The rest is simply our specialty. We spent the first week learning about teaching techniques and presentations. And, yup, its stuff we already know but didn't know we knew it.

We spend next week focusing on our specialty. For us it's CES(Church Educational System) and PEF(Perpetual Education Fund). We are excited to get to work.

WOW! We had an hour lecture on Malaria. I don't know which is worse; Malaria or the prevention. The pills, taken daily, generally cause cramps and have the potential to damage the esaphagus. It also causes sensitivity to the sun so we have to use sunscreen. Then we have to use repellent over the sun screen. Also, we have to mix an insecticide and drench our clothes in it. Any left over is to be used on the drapes, walls, floors etc. Sounds like fun eh?
