- P-day / temple exception: missionaries within two hours of the Nauvoo temple can trade P-day for a temple day.
- Office staff (per the welcome packet and the July 3, 2026 mission office call Kristi took): Sister Morgan (mission secretary), Elder Morgan (finance/housing), Elder Stephen Hunter (health adviser), Elder Standing (vehicle coordinator). Tracked at glossary level.
- Facebook group: "Iowa Iowa City Mission 2025-2028 - President and Sister Stone", where pictures and mission news are posted.
- Phone and SIM: the mission phone and SIM are shared with the field companion, so an arriving missionary has no mission phone service until she meets her trainer. Natalie noted on July 25 that she would need airport or hotel Wi-Fi to call home on travel day.

Provo MTC
Snapshot
Natalie's missionary training center. Her call packet set the schedule: online MTC from July 8, 2026, then in-person report at Provo on July 15, 2026, roughly three and a half weeks total for the English, non-language track. She trains in District 07-F with teachers Sister Hardy and Sister Easton, coordinated by Grace Lott (Non-Language Coordinator). The whole family except Kaitlynn drove her down on July 15.
Details
- District 07-F uses a shared Google Calendar on Natalie's missionary.org account.
- Jason began writing her at the MTC the day after drop-off. See Day 1, We got a puppy!.
-
First week (reported July 15): her MTC companion is Sister Dillingham. Temple days at the Payson Utah Temple (endowment, Friday July 17) and Mount Timpanogos Utah Temple (sealings, Monday July 20, which opens Mondays for MTC missionaries since the Provo Temple closed). Her first weekly email and first P-day call were both July 21. She flies to Iowa July 28. See the July 21 P-day call.
-
Final week (July 25): her MTC P-day is Tuesday, and because she flies out Tuesday July 28 she loses it, leaving Sunday and Monday as her only packing time. Workshops run alongside classes; she and Sister Dillingham slept through one and it was the only one she missed. Quiet hours start at 10:30 PM, with bathroom trips still allowed. Teaching practice happens both in class (companionship role-plays) and in scheduled Helping Others appointments. She had done laundry twice by then. See the July 25 last call.
