Hello Everyone,
It is hard to believe Terry and I have been in the MTC for almost a week. We have learned so much from our incredible MTC Instructors who are all returned missionaries in their early 20s. These Brothers and Sisters are remarkable people with so much to share! The Lord has blessed them with powerful testimonies, and they are teaching us how to deepen our own testimonies and knowledge of the Gospel. We can't wait to begin to share what we have learned with the people in Istanbul, Turkey.

We hear an "MTC" joke every day. Today's joke is; "What is the phone number for the Garden of Eden?" Answer: "1-800-ADAM812" :)

We attended the MTC devotional Tuesday night where we sang Called To Serve with the young missionaries. The score was written by Sister Naley from the MTC Mission Presidency (wife of the first counselor who is an amazing musician). I hope I can find a copy of that rendition as it was incredibly moving and beautiful! The Spirit there was so powerful, everyone was looking around as if to say, "I can't believe how beautiful this is"!!!

We taught our first investigators yesterday and another investigator today. It was an eye opener and we learned so much about effective teaching. I have felt the spirit so intensely here and I'm so grateful for this amazing experience. 

I am missing my family and want you to know how much I love and appreciate you! You are in our prayers daily!

Love lots,
Sister Ercanbrack
