Why Serve A Mission?

Daniel had a few of friends ask him why he was going to serve a mission instead of heading off to school right away or trying to progress financially.  College is definitely part of Daniel's plan, but he chose to put his missionary work first.  I hope this website helps explain why Daniel made the decision he did... http://mormon.org/missionary-work/

What is the MTC?

Some of you may be wondering what the MTC is and why Daniel is there prior to leaving for Tempe Arizona to fulfill his mission.  The MTC is the Missionary Training Center located in Provo Utah.  Here's a good explanation of what the MTC is and why he's there http://www.mission.net/cgi-bin/mn.cgi?action=disp_page&page=main_mtcfaq

Beginning of My Mission!

Hey Everyone,
     This is the first and only post that will actually be from me! This blog has been created so that each of you who want to know what is going on in my mission can read letters that have been sent home. Each time I transfer I will be given a new address and it will be posted on here for each of you. I hope to hear from you guys while I'm out. I hope to serve the Lord in a manner that is pleasing unto Him. Thank you for the support and all that you have done for me and my family.

~Elder Peterson
