Welcome to the Online MTC 7/17/2020

Elders,

We at the MTC are so excited for you to begin your missionary service in just a few short days. We know that the Lord is pleased with your decision to serve a mission, especially in such an extraordinary time. You, your family, and countless others will be greatly blessed for your willingness to serve.

We want you to know that we love you and are excited for you to begin your training. We know who you are, and are prepared to help you have an amazing Online MTC experience. In the coming days, you will receive an email from your MTC teachers. That email will include information about the training you will receive, your daily schedule, who the other members of your training group will be, and a few things that you might need to do before you get started.

If you are wondering what you can do between now and the time you start, we’d recommend that you read Preach My Gospel, chapter 1, and begin applying what you learn in your current situation. Also, take some time to memorize the purpose statement found on page 1.

We highly recommend that you take a live Provo MTC Virtual Tour! This virtual tour of the Provo MTC is a one-hour interactive experience that will help and encourage you to prepare yourself and your environment to get the most out of your Online MTC Training. If they desire, your families are welcome to join you for this tour. To sign up for this tour please visit mtcworkshops.as.me and click on the MTC Virtual Tour. You can also join by following this link: zoom.us/my/workshop3. The tours will be held every week on Monday at 3:00-4:00 pm MST and Tuesday 10:00-11:00 am MST.

You have been prepared for this unique MTC experience, and we are so excited that we get to work with you! Please be assured that we are planning for you and we are ready to help you understand, live, and apply your missionary purpose.

Sincerely,

MTC Training Staff

MTC announcement

To:           Missionaries

From:       Missionary Department

Subject:     Adjusted MTC Training (COVID-19 Precautions)

Dear Missionary,

Congratulations on your call to serve as a full-time missionary. As announced by the First Presidency and Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, all missionaries will participate in an online MTC experience until risks associated with COVID-19 subside. This training will take place through videoconference technology in your home or another suitable location.

Online training will begin on your originally scheduled MTC start date unless you are specifically notified otherwise. You will learn together with a district of up to eight missionaries and two assigned teachers. You will participate in online instruction with your district for up to six hours per day. You will have an assigned companion in your district with whom you will participate in online companion study and practice for one hour each day. You will also be assigned to conduct one hour of personal study each day and to complete practice assignments throughout the day.

You will receive an email with additional instructions three weeks prior to your scheduled start date. In the meantime, answers to most general questions related to online training can be found here:  Online MTC Training: Frequently Asked Questions

We are grateful for your desire to join in this significant work!
