I just sat down next to a guy wearing a short-sleeved, white shirt, a nice conservative tie, and an MTC teacher name badge. His shirt pocket is full of all sorts of things, including a pen and a missionary planner. He is currently sitting at a computer with the "Eternal Marriage" manual open to the "Mate Selection" chapter. He has no ring on his finger.
How long do you suppose this guy has been home from his mission?

I say about two months. His mission president probably gave him the "get married within six months" speech before he was released, so now he thinks that the best way to snag a wife is to work at the MTC and take as many marriage prep classes as he can.
It could be as much as 3 years. Maybe he's been teaching at the MTC ever since he got back. Since he's majoring in Latvian (his mission language) there really isn't a better-paying job out there for him, so he stuck around and advanced up through the ranks to finally become the teaching coordinator for all Balto-slavic languages.
And now he's getting close to graduating single from BYU. It never occurred to him that this could actually happen, so, in his panic, he signed up for a marriage prep class to see what can be done. I wish him the very best.
There's a chapter entitled "Mate Selection" in the "Eternal Marriage" manual? Oh dear.
He might even be considering grad school here just so that he can buy himself a little more time....
Poor guy. MTC teachers seems to have about the same high marriage rate as the Moticello complexes... It must be hard to always work around so very many successful people all day long....
But he's probably cute... So he'll be fine....
My MTC teacher was married.
Stop telling stories about me!!
