Called to Serve......the 2nd Provo MTC

On March 27, 2013 the Members of our Young Single Adult Ward discovered that they would be filling a unique 'Mission Call".  These Young Single Adults soon discovered that their apartments were slated to become the 2nd Provo MTC along with the adjoining Wyview Apartments..  This announcement was a significant surprise that was met with a variety of emotions.  Students scrambled to locate lodging for the Spring/Summer and Fall Semesters while trying to study for Final Exams.  Significant efforts were made to keep important relationships with roommates and ward members intact.  Overall, the outlook is positive.  Our amazing ward had the unique opportunity to see a new chapter of Church History unfolding in an up close and personal manner.

   I think one of the biggest things that I'll miss is Bishop. Sigh...It's okay though.

  Mr. Activities Committee--consider this a request to throw the biggest bash this ward has never seen.

  Party hardy y'all...yeah I'd be hanging around here a little longer if that were the case. I always like mission calls...don't think I've seen one intimately affect so many before though

Please feel free to post openings for both men and women. You can also feel free to post panicked pleas for a home. Some people need housing starting at the end of the semester, others not until fall, but this does mess with some plans. This is just a forum for coordination.

In the end, our wonderful members rallied around each other, and took the opportunity to forge a new future not only in Provo, but across the United States and the world.  The impact of this amazing ward will be spreading across the face of the land.
