(available appointments vary)
MTC Mentoring is an opportunity for missionaries to receive 45 minutes of individualized help from an MTC teacher. (Called a mentor!)
We can help you apply Adjusting to Missionary Life principles so you can respond positively to various stresses you may encounter, including:
Emotional and social challenges, such as homesickness or fear of talking to strangers.
Teaching-related stress, such as mastering Preach My Gospel skills, preparing for teaching experiences, or learning a new language.
Interpersonal stress, such as difficulties working effectively with others.
For help improving reading, comprehension, and ability to focus while studying, please visit the Study Skills Office by signing up in the app. (MTC App - Signups - Study Skills)
If any of the following quotes describe your feelings:
“I’m struggling to cope with the stress of missionary life."
“I feel like I never have anything to say when I teach and roleplay.”
“I often get frustrated with myself.”
“I’m frequently discouraged.”
“I have a really hard time talking to new people.”
“I don’t know if I can do this.”
When you come for your appointment, you will meet with your mentor in one of the rooms on the 3rd floor of T3. If you are participating in the MTC from home, you will join your mentor’s zoom link that is included in your appointment confirmation email. Your mentor will introduce themselves and take some time to get to know you. They will ask you how your MTC experience has been and what you would like to work on together.
You will sign up for a 45 minute time slot.
If you are participating online, it is not necessary to bring your companion with you. If you are participating in person, yes! You should. Your companion(s) can participate in the lesson too.
