Tomorrow is our last day at the MTC. It has been a wonderful experience. We have been on a spiritual high. We ended our last session today with bearing our testimonies. We listened to Elder Duncan of the Seventy on Tuesday's devotional. He talked about the importance of missionaries and how the blessings of service will be more than you can imagine. He reminded us of how President Hinckley wrote his father and said how discouraged he was. His father responded, "Forget yourself and get to work." We got an email from the mission President's wife last night and we will be attending a Zone Conference next Wednesday with them. This will give us an opportunity to meet the missionaries and see some of Madagascar. We will send some pictures. Missionary service is great, and we are excited to get out in the field and serve the Lord. Love all of you and hope you will continue to pray for the missionaries. Bruce & Arlene
