First Day at the MTC: What to Expect

[@mckenzieray1547]

I love love love all of your videos!! Thank you for giving me information on everything in the MTC so I don’t have to stress!

[@jennamutter8880]

I love this! It is so helpful to know what to expect. It stinks that you had to come home for a little bit before continuing on your mission, but i believe these videos you are making and how much you share your love for the MTC are part of that reason for coming home. I need these videos, others need these videos and your testimony of how great the MTC is and the advice you have. You have eased some of my many nerve and i look forward to the rest of this series. Thank you so much for choosing to serve and thank you for sharing your experience. Love ya girlie!! Cant wait for the rest of your videos. :)

Awe thank you so much! You are so sweet! I am so glad I could help you out, and get you excited to serve! You will be an amazing missionary!!

[@bayleedettman1093]

I wanted to send a quick thank you for this video!!!! I’ve been so nervous about my first day at the MTC but I feel so much more confident! I am even more excited to serve! Thanks again!

[@ryleebrooke6836]

You are so welcome! I am glad I could help! That is my goal for these videos! If you have any questions please let me know so I can include them in future videos!

[@bryanbaird4646]

Thanks so much for this! It's been helpful to me, as a parent who just dropped off my son to know what he's doing! I know that even if he has the time to write me a note, he's not likely to be too descriptive of such things, so... great job! Also, congratulations on being called to THE BEST MISSION ON THE PLANET! :)

[@JolaMusik]

Thank you so much! I loved your honest report about the MTC. Now i'm looking forward to get there ...whith a little less fear :) While watching your video i could feel a little bit of the joy and the spirit that you felt in the MTC . So Tanks a lot!

[@ryleebrooke6836]

You're so welcome! That brings me so much joy knowing that I could convey the spirit that I felt there, and also ease any fear you had! You are going to be an amazing missionary!!

Texas San Antonio covered where I lived when I was a kid!! It's a wonderful place!!

[@floridalife4]

I’m so glad I found this. My son is leaving for his mission this summer and all I keep thinking about is, what will his first days and weeks away from home be like? I am going to share this series with him in the hopes that it will give him some insight as to what a to expect and it’s been so helpful to me. Thank you for doing this.

[@morgans2995]

You're so welcome!!

[@darcyspicer5027]

What a great, detailed explanation of the first day! Thank you for taking the time to share it! One question - since dinner is so early, is there a place to get snacks during the evening? Can you take food from the dining hall to your room for later?

[@ryleebrooke6836]

So you cant take food from the cafeteria, but they have vending machines in the residence hall! They will give you a card that has money on it that you can use in the vending machines. The MTC store also has snacks! :)

[@darcyspicer5027]

Thank you!

Hey! I live in the TSAM. I’m planning on attending a mission right now and I’m nervous. This helped out a lot. Thanks

[@ryleebrooke6836]

That's so amazing!! I am so excited to get to Texas! I am glad I could help you out! Have you gotten your call yet?

[@haleighahobbs9773]

You are really putting my mind at ease sister! Thank you for this ❤️❤️ also you are soooo pretty!

[@ryleebrooke6836]

I am so glad that I was able to help you out!!! That's what inspires me to keep making these!! Alsp thank you so much!!

[@NovasLitLibrary]

Great video!! this makes me so excited to go into the MTC in a couple of weeks :) when do we receive our scriptures, PMG and books in the MTC?

[@ryleebrooke6836]

Awe thank you!! If you are English speaking make sure you bring your own scriptures and books, except PMG. They will give you PMG, pamphlets and a few other books on the second day. If you are speaking another language then they will provide scriptures for you in that language and you will receive that the same time as you get your PMG and other material. :)

[@NovasLitLibrary]

Rylee Brooke thank you!!!

[@rosetolman2705]

Thank you that helped a lot!! Is there a way to contact you just social media or email to talk just trying to decide on a mission but you might still be on your mission too! But thanks again! ❤️

[@ryleebrooke6836]

Yes, I have an instagram account called "my MTC experience"and you can reach out to me on there!

You're very welcome! I am so glad that I could help!

[@natashabartel]

Your amazing wow,!! Why did you have to come home early? Stay strong 🙏😘

[@ryleebrooke6836]

Awe thank you!!! I just came home for some medical reasons.

[@GlowingFirefly]

So I'm a convert, and I'll be going to the MTC alone. How do I get a ride to the MTC from the airport because I am going to have no idea what I'm doing

[@teaghanstrong9999]

Also my cousin is serving in San Antonio! Say hi to Elder Strong for me :)

[@ryleebrooke6836]

That's so cool! Is he English or Spanish speaking?

[@larissalaggingbaah8934]

Je suis tellement stressée pour ma mission

[@simplytiffany8695]

When you’re sleeping in the mtc rooms, does everybody usually set their own alarm clock or is it more like, everyone wakes up from one persons alarm clock?

[@ryleebrooke6836]

That's a good question. We all set our alarms, and it honestly got kind of annoying and we would never know who's alarm was going off. So I'd recommend have a designated person who sets the alarm and turns on the light. :)

[@simplytiffany8695]

Rylee Brooke thank you! That’s really helpful!! I’ll keep that in mind. Another question; do you really go to the temple every week to do a session? Somebody told me that you go every p day to do a session in the temple, is that true? I’ll be in the mtc for 6-7 weeks (through Christmas and New Years). I’m just curious :) thanks

[@ryleebrooke6836]

@@simplytiffany8695 You're so welcome! And yes, you get the opportunity to go with your district every pday. You dont have to, but you do have that option every week. I highly recommend it!! I only got to go once while I was there because it was closed for cleaning!

[@simplytiffany8695]

Rylee Brooke okay!! Thank you so much!! Also, one more thing haha sorry for all the questions. I leave in 9 days and I’m so nervous!! But, when you have your companion in the mtc, do you have to go everywhere with them? Is that correct?
