Provo Missionary Training Center Tour

What many people don't know about mormon missionaries is that they not only spread their doctrine but actively engage in humanitarian aid. If all privileged kids had compulsory humanitarian aid work after school this world would be a better, more modest place. Well done LDS church.

When I met my husband I was open to the mormon religion but was still living my life very unsteady. Smoking and drinking was an everyday for me. As we got our first appartment we learned we bad 2 sister missionaries from his church li ing right behind us. They took thier time with me every single day for over an hour everyday and slowly swayed me into living a righteous life. Shortly after that my husband and I were married and he baptized me as a member of the church. We now are expecting our 3rd baby boy this month and I can say with my heart that the sister missionaries who took their precious time with me when I was once stubborn and hard headed. Changed my life. They were right where they needed to me at the perfect time!

You know, people give Mormons a lot of crap. But I have to say that every Mormon I ever interacted with was polite, respectful and rather pleasant to talk to.

I had a Mormon friend in high school and I did some Mormon routine like pray at dinner or go to church dance even though I’m not a Mormon and my friend never shove it in my face . He just treated me like another friend.

I had been planning to serve a mission as soon as I turn nineteen, but a couple months ago I was trying to know for sure if this is really the time for me to go. I had prayed about it, but still wasn't sure. Then I saw this video. I was almost to the end when the Spirit hit me like a freight train. I know that this is time for me to go. My papers are in, and I'm waiting for my call. I'm so excited! This is the happiest time of my life because I'm preparing to do what the Lord intends me to do. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints is true, and I am so grateful for my Savior!

I entered this institution a few decades ago when I was 19. The curriculum was great. I am still thankful to the Church that provided me such a great opportunity and experience to serve as a missionary of the Lord. I can still remember the spirit, smell of those buildings and sacred air there.

I was 20 years old in 1975, when I got baptized in Southern California. A year later I went on a mission, in 1976. When I was at the MTC from September- November 1976 it was a brand new facility and was dedicated when I was there in October 1976. Almost all of the general authorities were there with President Kimball. After that I was sent to Germany. I had some fond memories of that time. I am now 66 years old. I am still active, along with my wife, but our 2 daughters are inactive. How I long for those promising young years.

This stubborn Baptist took all of six months and nine missionaries to finally agree to be baptized Sep 18, 2021. I couldn't be more joyful about the decision. After my decision made in faith GOD has granted me so much logical understanding of the church and the Temples.

I love the Missionaries they have saved my life my family. Forever grateful for their services. Elder McDonald and Elder Michaelis and many more..I'm a missionary forever

I missed those times that mormons missionaries was teaches us about the gospel in my poor community in the Philippines. God bless to all Missionaries

what an inspiring video! I served a mission 39 years ago and walked the halls of the MTC after being converted at 16, started my mission at 19. In just 30 days my son will be at the MTC to begin his own mission. What a great legacy to share with him as he begins his service to the Lord. I will miss him terribly, but I know this is the right thing to do.

I’m a Protestants but I really proud looking my brother from LDS church dedicated their life for the missions for the name of CHRIST. Great job and may GOD bless you all.

Am going to serve my mission this year but am so excited to interact with more people of my faith and especially the same purpose... When i saw this video i really felt the spirit and just one tear fell out of my eyes(i wasn't crying my eyes were just sweaty)i really now know that i want to serve the Lord and gather Israel 🙏😌😊

The MTC was among the most memorable parts of my mission that I'll always cherish the most. It's just amazing how my zone and I all entered as strangers on day one, and left as family three weeks later into our respective missions.

I'm member of the church last year I found myself I had struggles with my faith but I'm still as member of the church. As single guy I'm feel good but sometimes is hard to understand when all people in church try to tell me that I'm not the right member because I'm still single. We have a particular situation in Latin American countries when you are single guy. I'm a good boy but last year was hard to me my Mom has cancer and I was seek also at the same time. So during that period of time I was thinking about my time as a young missionary I really loved that time If you ask myself about where my testimony is coming from ? I can tell you that testimony was building when I was a missionary I miss all friends, companions, leaders, etc. I think life is good but the real life show us that most important things are related to spiritual stuff but is hard when people in church judge me for my single condition status. I love all the memories of the mission at the end if there's something which inspire me I can tell you is the time when I preached the gospel.

My experience in the MTC in 2001 was so servery traumatic. I just finished my first year at Ricks and then I reported to the MTC in August of 2001. This video makes the MTC look friendly, casual, bright, and welcoming. All I remember was the following. 12 hours per day for 3 - 4 weeks, in one single dark class room doing only one task; silently memorizing word for word each Discussion. Then after a few weeks of literal torture, 9/11 happened. I was so stressed out because they wouldn't tell us much and they told us not to talk about it. One day I was so exhausted from the Memorizing assignment and from worrying about NYC, I just couldn't take it and I bolted. I was planning on coming back to the Classroom, I simply needed to vent. I took a walk and fell to my knees on the Exercise Field. I just laid there for a few minutes and before I knew it I had fallen asleep on the Grass. I was so exhausted I couldn't keep my eyes open. I woke up with four cops kicking me to wake up. They told me I was Trespassing and they were informed that a Missionary bolted. They cuffed me, and they took me to the Hospital for evaluation. That was it. My MTC Mission President didn't follow up when I was at the Hospital. The Hospital cleared me and the MTC simply called my Folks to come up from SoCal to pick me up and take me home. This was Sep 12 and all flights were grounded. They were worried and upset. My Mom and Dad drove up because it was the only option, they couldn't simply jet up and they were worried. I was out on the Street for about 24 hours because I didn't even have my Wallet on me. The MTC nor did my Mission President help me find a place to sleep that night. And that was the duration of my Mission. They wouldn't let me come back. I served only about 4 weeks. The MTC will always be a rotten place for me.

Amazing, my dad and my husband are both converts. Keep the Faith. JESUS CHRIST IS THE ONLY WAY TO PEACE.

I love missionaries! They were the tool Heavenly Father used to find me when I prayed to know which church I should join after much preparation by study and eventual prayer. That was 32 years ago. I have never had a day of inactivity or doubt. I have so much gratitude in my heart for what the missionaries do to share the gospel and for teaching me about the Atonement of Jesus Christ.

Two years after being Baptized a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints which was 42 years ago this month (May 1980) I walked to the mailbox and found a gray envelope containing a letter signed by then President Spencer W. Kimball, "Calling me to Serve the People of Northern California for 2 years. About 6 weeks later I entered the MTC (Missionary Training Center) to learn how to teach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the people that I would meet in the Sacramento area. The things I learned at the MTC and during the next 2 years have blessed my life daily.

Lovely memories of teaching here in the '70s; so much amazing progress has been made on the campus. ❤️
