MTC

Elder Mckibben entered the Missionary Training Center in Provo, Utah on November 7, 2007. His first night there one of his roommates disappeared in the middle of the night. Apparently the Elder wasn't quite ready for his mission. How's that for reassurance? Elder Mckibben felt that he struggled with the language while in the MTC but now that he is in the field he is doing much better with his Spanish. Just a couple of weeks after Elder Mckibben got to Mexico he became very ill. Apparently he ate some food from one of the street vendors. Had he known it was actually a mission no no he wouldn't have touched the food. His eating food from a street vendor resulted in his hospitalization and an IV. He just got some sort of a stomach virus but he recovered in just a couple of days and will think twice next time before eating off the streets.
