Next Step: Parents and Youth need to complete the electronic "mission papers" and permission slip by October 23
This event will give the youth 14+ (this year) an opportunity to experience the excitement and challenge of being a missionary. They will receive a mission call, be paired with a companion, have an MTC teacher, participate in a P-day activity, and have a teaching activity like missionaries do. Our goal is for the youth to connect to their Savior, Jesus Christ, and be excited to gather Israel as a missionary in the not-too-distant future. President Nelson called it “the greatest challenge, the greatest cause, and the greatest work on earth. And we want to invite you to be part of it.”
Please arrive at the Edgerton Building, 2335 Edgerton St, Little Canada, MN 55117, between 6:15 and 6:45 pm on Friday, November 7th. The preference is for youth to be dropped off so they don’t have to leave a car in the parking lot overnight, and so they will stay engaged in the activity. We have arranged rides for them in the evening and morning so they will not need a car. Parents can pick youth up at the Edgerton Building on Saturday, November 8th at 7:00 pm.
As the youth arrive, they will be assigned a companion and put into a district. We will have district activities and a fireside from Pres Allred, the mission president of the Minnesota Minneapolis Minnesota Mission. On the evening of Friday, November 7th, the youth will be staying in groups of 4-6 at a member’s home relatively close to the stake center. While you are at your host home, you should retire to bed at 10:30 pm and arise at 7:00 am. You will eat breakfast at your host home and will need to be back at the church building at 8:30 am.
Keep your appearance suitable for a representative of the Lord. How you look should strengthen what you say. Appropriate dress and grooming will help earn the respect and trust of those with whom you work. During the conference, Young Men should wear white shirts, nice slacks, and conservative ties. Young Women should wear church dresses or slacks with nice shoes (no flip flops).
Please bring the following items to the Saint Paul MTC:
It is optional if you want to bring your pillow and blankets as those will be provided by your host family. Cell phone will be limited use during the event so the youth can focus on being a mission. Other electronics should be left at home, such as iPads or handheld video games.
As a future ambassador for the Lord Jesus Christ, obey all conference rules and strive to represent the Savior properly. Keep your thoughts, words, and actions in harmony with the message of the gospel. On your mission, your conduct will influence your own effectiveness and the attitudes of nonmembers and members.
During the conference, read only materials relating to the conference and listen to music in harmony with the gospel standards. While you are at your host home, be respectful of the family who has opened their home to you and always be willing to lend a hand. Do not watch TV or movies and do not play video games while you are at your host home.
Refrain from calling home unless completely necessary. If you have any questions on what is appropriate, then you should ask your district teacher.
If you need to make special arrangements for the night or any time during the conference, please reach out to Jessica Friedman, the Stake YW President, or Andrew Howard, the Stake YM President.
