Elder Zachary Andrews: Typical Day in the Life of an MTC Boy

THE VISION OF THE SOUTH

"Make no small plans: This is the vision I have for the South. I believe that one day the South will baptize more people into the church than all other English speaking missions in the world together....We will see the time when we will baptize hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands...In your day you will see a million members of the church in the South. There will be temples plural in the Southern States. What a great call you have to serve with these marvelous people." President Spencer W. Kimball

Typical Day in the Life of an MTC Boy

There are four elders and four hermanas in my district. The elders are all going to LA with me. Elder Drollinger (Colorado), the district leader, his companion Elder Hale (Hawaii), my companion Elder Page (Alpine) and me. The hermanas are Hermana Allen (going to LA), Hermana Southwick (Lehi) and Hermana Lauuaki-Sablan (Seattle) and Hermana Lee (Salt Lake). Those three are going to California.

Here's what I do every day:

605-655 gym
655-725 prepare
725-830 study
830-900 breakfast
900-1200 Spanish class with a teacher
1200-140 language study
140-225 lunch
225-525 class (we have to teach a lesson in Spanish in the beginning and then study)
525-635 language study on the computer and on Tuesday choir
640-725 dinner
725-900 language study
900-1000 plan and prepare for bed

It changes sometimes but not very much.

Love you be safe,

Elder Andrews

Louisiana Baton Rouge Mission

The first branch of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints was organized in New Orleans with 334 members in 1841. The prophet Joseph Smith sent the first missionary to New Orleans in March of that year. After reaching 169 members in 1849, the New Orleans branch disbanded because of the threat of serious disease in the area. The Southern States Mission, which included Louisiana opened in 1878, but the first missionaries were not sent to the state until nearly 20 years later. Missionary work spread throughout the state during the early twentieth century and by 1930, there were 1500 members. The first ward was established in Shreveport in 1953 and the first stake in New Orleans in 1955.In 1975, the Louisiana Baton Rouge Mission was created and by 1980, there were over 12,500 members in the state of Louisiana. By 1989, Louisiana had 22,000 members in seven stakes. In 1998, the First Presidency announced the building of a temple in Baton Rouge. That temple was dedicated on 16 July, 2000.The Louisiana Baton Rouge Mission extends from Natchitoches South to the East and West borders through the state including the Gulf of New Orleans. The mission also includes the South West corner of Mississippi including Natchez, Liberty, and Macomb.
