Gabe’s Letter 8/20/19

First week in the MTC! it's been great so far! I got here Wednesday and I met my companion his name is Elder Whittier (no he is not wittier than me) but hes pretty cool he's from Utah just like the other 75% of the MTC, but he's great. My district is also very cool they're all from Utah besides a sister who is from burley Idaho and an Elder who is from Arizona, so that's cool. Thursday we met our branch presidency and teachers and our branch president is very cool he's got a Forrest Whittaker eye going on so that's awesome. Our teachers are also cool ones from Baltimore and went to Colorado on her mission and the other is from Utah and went to Texas on his mission they're both very knowledgeable and I can tell I'm learning from them it's great! Nothing much other than classes. The food here as you can expect is mediocre as best but it's OK because we get spiritually fed all the time so it's almost like real food. Sunday was probably the most spiritual day by far, we had sacrament meeting and elders quorum and then a couple of other meetings but it all came together at the devotional that night with Tad R callister giving a talk about disproving critics of the book of Mormon and it was very informational then we watched a talk from an MTC Christmas devotional in 2011 given by David a Bednar called "The Character of Christ" it was easily one of the best talks and you can only see it in the mtc which makes it even more special. Well that was my week it was long yet short haha I've come to the conclusion that time doesn't exist here in the mtc but that's alright  it's a good time! Anyways just so you guys know my pday is Tuesday here in the mtc so I can only respond to messages on Google hangouts and emails till 6:00 but I can read emails and messages any day of the week so send them on down I’d love to hear from you!
Love and miss you all!
Elder Peterson
