The MTC (Missionary Training Center) is where new missionaries spend their first weeks learning to teach and, for some, a new language. Its cafeteria food is a favorite target of missionary jokes. A veteran of real boot camp may not be impressed.
Every ward has a grandmother (or three) who adopts the missionaries: feeds them, worries about them, and tells them exactly who they remind her of.
Latter-day Saints sometimes call each other Saints. In New Orleans, though, “the Saints” usually means the football team, and General Conference weekend can overlap with game day. Not everyone gets the double meaning right away.
Twice a year, in April and October, Church leaders speak at General Conference from the Conference Center in Salt Lake City, and members around the world watch at home. For many families that means pajamas, blankets and plenty of popcorn. Missionaries often watch with a member family, but they stay in missionary clothes, no matter how comfy the couch looks.
“Fellowshipping” is how Latter-day Saints describe befriending new and returning members. Some elders read the flyer a little differently.
YSA wards are congregations of young single adults. Missionaries serve there too, and transfers, which usually come about every six weeks, can’t come fast enough for some sisters.
Getting to know the people you teach is important. Some are happy to share everything, starting from the very beginning.
“Endure to the end” (2 Nephi 31:20) is a core gospel teaching. After a few months of member dinners, a suit-coat button understands it personally.
Ward members feed the missionaries. Missionaries eat everything they're served. Somehow every family makes lasagna the same week.
