Virtual Quest

Virtual Missioanry Training

What was your initial reaction when you found out that you’ll be receiving your MTC training online?

 I feel sad, and curious, because I wont be able to experience the norm of a missionary entering to MTC physically, instead having a Unique Experience through Virtual or Online Training at Home. Somehow I'am a little bit frighten that I can't be a good missionary because my training has just been online, or virtual with out any personal teaching, or person to person companionship study. But in the same time I was eager to look forward what are the differences, and changes in this spiritual escapade that I'm having to contribute in my soon areas in Cauayan Mission.

How have been adjusting so far in regard to receiving your MTC training online?

I've been a lot of adjustments, especially in my daily routines, my family had to change the schedules for my own benefits and handling doubts or question of "How will my training to be more MEANINGFUL in virtual while staying at Home" Staying at home is part of my adjustment also because Im not used to sit down for 6 hours looking to a computer and talked about principles and having gospel study with your fellow missionaries.
My thoughts about adjustment are never too easy, because I need to observe missionary rules for a while in my very Home, were mostly that would happen in the field while you are taking lessons to a family whose watching Tv for a while, its one of my fear that while staying home I might break rules of a missionary especially in Using Technology, or a simple  glimpse and soon you noticed you spend more time than studying the Preach my Gospel.

What were the challenges of the MTC virtual training?

The challenge for me are How to stay connected with my District or to be participative in classroom instruction if my internet slows down or unstable, the family noise or family daily routines includes temptation in using Technology.


What were the blessings of the MTC virtual training?

 The blessings that I see and feel now are My Family. They are more important to me than everything else, my relationship to my family strengthen and bless having a missionary in the Home, the greatest change I see, before we used to have a church -home family routines, haven't try to have Family Home Evening and cousels, but now because of the quarantine and lockdown, we had Ito change our family routines, we are now having or FHE and Counsels every week, trying to act upon Pres.Nelson talks about Home Centered Gospel by using Come Follow Me. Second blessings feel is I have more time to draw closer to the Savior and Hear His voice , knowing my Heavenly Father see my innermost potential, and my divine responsiblity more than I see to my self.

What is something that you have learned from this sudden adjustment?

 In this unique experience I had felt more the love of my Father in Heaven to me as His Daughter, and as a disciple of Jesus Christ.
Virtual Training is a challenge to all and for me especialy.
I learned to accept the fact of the sudden change of my missionary experience and trainings.

And I've learned something that I would never deny and forget
And thats The Spirit of the Lord, or the Holy Ghost.
Physical MTC or you are in the 4 walls of
Room in the building or you can see and shakehands eachother personally or Virtual MTC, or the screens of faces and the vibration of sounds because of laughters and cries
The thoughts and feelings through The Spirit or the Holy Ghost is the SAME.
During my trainings it was filled by the spirit thats helps me to connect to Heaven, helps me to be more like Jesus Christ, to guide me to act according to the will of Heavenly Father, the Holy Ghost is the teacher and I'm an instrument to teach the principles and doctrine of Christ.

Heavenly Father places me in this challenging times to witness the changes not just only for missionary work, but the rapid change of the world, preparing you and me to the glorious event of the Savior Second coming.
