It has been another wonderful day here at the Missionary Training Center ("MTC").

Tonight, we were privileged to attend a devotional with all 1800+ missionaries being trained in the Provo MTC.  It was also viewed or will be viewed in the other 13 MTCs around the world. Elder and Sister Stevenson were the speakers.

It is always a privilege to listen to an Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ. What added to the experience was that we were able to sing "Called to Serve" with all of those missionaries. That was truly a blessing and I was energized by it.

Here are some statistics that Elder Stevenson shared.

• 3,640 full-time missionaries are currently being trained in the 14 MTCs (Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Dominican Republic, England, Ghana, Guatemala, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Philippines, South Africa, Spain, United States).
• 40,000 missionaries are trained each year.
• Missionaries are being trained in 58 second languages.
• 65,871 full-time missionaries are currently serving in 150 countries
