Alex Peterson life in the MTC

Alex went into the MTC on October 19, 2011.  As we were driving into the MTC he saw Elder Glauser and rolled down his window and yelled Elder Glauser.  Elder Glauser had a great big smile on his face and said Elder Peterson is today the day?  He said pull over right here and I will be your host.  It was really great to have Alex have somebody right there that he knew from the start.  He has also ran into Elder De La Mare.  He loves the district that he is in.  He told me that he knows that he knew everybody in the district before he came to earth.  He says the spirit in the MTC is so strong and he loves it.

Alex is learning Albanian and it is a tough language.  In this last letter that he sent he sounded as though he was a little bit homesick.  They have given seven lessons in Albanian and he tells me there is a reason they are in the MTC for so long learning the language.  He will be in the MTC until January 4, 2012.  He has a teacher that is
Albanian and so he is giving Alex the extra help he needs on the language.  He says the spirit is really strong in the mtc and the only other time he has felt it stronger is the first time in the temple.  He loves the MTC and he is excited to get to Albania to start teaching the gospel.
