Since they are building so many temples, it would make sense that they are building more MTCs, but Monsoon didn't mention that. He said there are about 68 new missions. Where are these hapless mishies being trained?

Judging from the trend I've seen with these new BIG temples around the world (just as one example - Rome, where they are building 4 big buildings) it looks like they will be building more MTCs as you suggest.

Personally, I think it would be in the morgs best interest to take 20-40 acres outside of SLC proper, closer to the airport, and build a mega MTC/temple/call center/housing complex. Easier access to the airport, close to Corporate HQ, plenty of room to expand (even though I wish they would shrivel up and die like the hemorrhoids they are), they could then expand YBU into the current space in provo.

A few years ago, they sold the building that the mtc was housed in next to the Tokyo temple. They have been shipping the Japanese mishies from japan to provo for training, then back to Japan for the 2 years. I'll bet they put an MTC in Sapporo when that temple complex gets built.

KSL had an article saying the church is leasing Raintree Apartments in Provo as an extension to the MTC.

They are building an MTC in Mexico City.

I was thinking more "Monkey Trauma Center"

The new Mexico City MTC is already built. They are re-purposing an LDS owned and operated prep school that's supposed to serve all missions in Latin America, thus re-gaining a big chuck of operating capacity in the Provo MTC. Here's a link to the Mexico City Complex, it's a shame they are turning such a big aschool into a sales training center. https://maps.google.com/?ll=19.53415,-99.150624&spn=0.013812,0.013068&t=h&z=16&iwloc=lyrftr:h,227146836394696317,19.534979,-99.15174

Given the fact that army boot camp in 1965 convinced me we did not know how to fight a war (Vietnam), convinced I could develop better weapons, I opted out (the camp was voluntary). My article on how to win was published in March of 1966. I would surely have rebelled in an MTC environment. Being as obstinate as I am, I would still have stayed at the MTC but would have been tossed out and sent to outer darkness.

I find it hard to believe people are so easily brainwashed. Did you ever notice how Mitt Romney "thought"? Reminded me of his dad who ADMITTED being "brain-washed".

But how many of those are just larger missions carved into smaller pieces? After all, there's only so much planet.

Why even have a MTC? I didn't learn anything there. I learned everything in the field from my trainer comp. I think missionaries should just report to the mission office. Now the LTC I can see having. So much time so and much money wasted.

THe have an MTC in Japan too as well as a couple other countries I hear. I don't know which ones though.
