What is it Like in the MTC?

What's it like at the MTC? 

Here's a run-down for what my life looks like now until I fly to Germany:

6:30 - arise, pray, prepare for day

7-8 - daily planning and study

8-8:30 - breakfast

8:30-9:10 - gym

9:50-10:50 - personal study

10:50 - 11:50 - companion study

11:50-12:50 - language study

12:50-1:30 - lunch

1:45-5:45 - Additional study with Teacher - language study, missionary training

5:45-6:15 - dinner 

6:30-9:30 - either additional study, Devotional, teaching a practice Investigator, etc.

On Mon. and Sat. we give 75 minutes of service to helping keep the MTC clean. 

On Wednesday we have our "P-day" aka day to prepare for the rest of the week. (laundry, email, temple, etc.)

Sundays are my favorite days. Church! :) 

Yes, I study a lot. Yes, I'm tired a lot. And yes, I'm completely, 100% happy! This is exactly where I am supposed to be. This Gospel is true. Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer. I have felt the power of His Atonement everyday here in the MTC.  I can change because of Him. 

To my family and friends: You are all in my prayers and in my heart. I love you all and I am so grateful to have you in my life. :)

Missing my family and friends.

I'm in shock about the German scriptures! Over 600 pages in Das Buch Mormon.

My room. Where I sleep. Not where I live. The classroom is my home.
