A Typical day at the MTC

 A typical day is wake up at around 6:30, go to class at 7 then to Breakfast at 7:45ish. We then go back to class for about 30 minutes and then to gym - which is probably my favorite time at the MTC, we stay in the gym for about an hour - I either shoot hoops or play volleyball (Sestra Hayden, the tall blonde sestra going Czech played v-ball in college). After gym time we usually get about 30 minutes to shower afterwards. We then go back to class and get taught Czech for an hour or two then we have personal/comp study time where we prepare our lesson for our "investigators" or if it's like yesterday, we all prepare lessons for TRC - I have no idea what this stands for - but I know that we teach actual RMs (returned missionaries) from the Czech Rep. We usually then teach and have more study time or class time then we go to dinner at 5:30 (I forgot to mention but we also usually have lunch time around 12:30ish) and we go back to our rooms finally around 9:30 - quiet time at 10:15 and lights out at 10:30, even though we probably stay up normally until about 11pm writing in journals, reading scriptures, or just talking amongst ourselves.

From wiki: The Teaching Resource Center (TRC) gives missionaries some experience teaching in their mission language, even if it is their native tongue. All missionaries visit the TRC each week. Volunteers who speak the language role play as "investigators" (people who are investigating the church) in these teaching situations.  At the end, Missionaries watch a video tape of their teaching session to find ways to improve their language skills and teaching style. Volunteers are usually returned missionaries and/or BYU students with language abilities. Members of other faiths are able to volunteer as well.
