MTC… Home Away from Home…

The Cabuyao Ward has four prospective missionaries preparing for a full time mission. That’s why we made an arrangement with President Smith of the Manila Missionary Training Center (MTC) to visit the MTC on February 2, 2008. Everybody was excited for our trip to the MTC in Manila.

When the day finally came, the excitement was evident in our faces.

One of the MTC teachers explained the purpose of MTC, which is to train the full-time missionaries before sending them into the field. They stay in the MTC for 19 days to be trained in expected conduct, proselytizing methods, making their lesson plans, and using the “Preach my Gospel” missionary guide. In addition, they are given the chance to further learn the doctrines of Jesus Christ and to develop and strengthen Chist-like attributes. The missionaries also learn to teach the gospel and invite people to come unto Christ through faith, repentance, baptism by immersion and confirmation.

According to Elder Richard G. Scott, “Missionaries try with every capacity—prayer, fasting, and testifying—to help individuals embrace the truth. A mission teaches one to be led by the Spirit, to understand our purpose for being on earth and how to accomplish it.”

Around the world, there are 17 Missionary Training Centers and the Philippines is so blessed to have one.
We acted as investigators while the elders and sisters taught their lessons. They taught us with the power of the Holy Ghost and they are really prepared to preach the gospel.
Our future full time missionaries such as BJ, Rodmark and Joseph have said that the MTC serves as a home because the elders and sisters are like one big happy family in learning the gospel that they will tell the people. They build friendship and harmonious companionship in companionship study, gym time and lesson time with their MTC teachers. And of course, they also build camaraderie in their favorite place of MTC.. the kitchen ..where they enjoy the delicious food. Indeed, MTC is a home away from home for nineteen days.
