Hello Everyone!
This is my last email from the MTC! I fly out to Washington on Monday. The MTC has been awesome. My group of missionaries are great! Elder Keys is my companion. He is from Salt Lake City, he is a great kid. Everyone from my group is from Utah except two. One of them is from Indiana and the other from Japan...he is American though. On January 31st Elder Nelson came and spoke to the missionaries. It was the 50th anniversary of this MTC!! There were not enough seats for all of the missionaries. They had a room with a TV for the over flow. The talk was at 7:00. People started missing classes to line up at 4:00! Some of my group wanted to line up and other wanted to go to class. We decided to split up. Me, my Companion, and two other Elders went to Zone Teaching...we were the only 4 out of 24 that showed up! Our teacher told us all the seats have been taken and to go watch it on TV. If you know me I was not going to go with out a good try. So we went to the building and before we even made it inside a guard stopped us and said there were no more seats. So my companion and the two other Elders started to go to the overflow. I said (jokingly) "Nephi didn't give up the first time he and his brothers went to get the brass plates so lets try the other door". When we got to the door the guard told us the same thing as the other one. But as we turned around, a guy came out of the doors and said "some people didn't show up for their reserved seats so you four can have them!" So we ended up with four front row seats to see Elder Nelson and Elder Holland talk, all because we were obedient and went to Zone Teaching. Being obedient can bless you in every way!!
Write to you from Spokane!
Love Elder Peterson
