Jackie and the MTC

(contributed by Jackie's Mom)

We took Jackie to the mission home today. It was an interesting experience. We turned into the parking lot and there were older men with orange vests and young missionaries directing traffic. As we were driving around the building there were 8-10 missionaries (Floyd said there were more than that - - there were missionaries all over) on the grass waving to all the newcomers.

We were sent to a large numbered cone . (There were cones numbered from 1-15?). A woman with a clipboard and two missionaries were waiting. As we were getting out of the car, the woman asked for Jackie's name. She looked on her clipboard and gave me a slip of paper with Jackie's mailbox number on it. One missionary took our picture, we hugged her and off she went.

One of the missionaries helping us was going to Russia. Jackie asked if he had learned any Russian. He answered that he knew a little bit. Then Jackie started busting out her Russian phrases as they walked off. It took all of 10 minutes. The woman did tell me that we should get an e-mail from Jackie in about a week.

Jackie's mailing address is

The card that the woman gave me also said that, "All missionary mail should come through the US Mail or commercial delivery services. Hand deliverd items will NOT be accepted. Do not send pizzas, fast foods, items needing refrigeration or anything perishable.
