Week 2!

What a week!!!! This week has been sooooooo fun! I hope everyone had a
wonderful Christmas! I had the amazing opportunity to hear Elder 
Anderson from the quorum of the 12! I along with my district and a ton 
of other missionaries had the wonderful opportunity to sing in the MTC 
choir for the the devotional he spoke in! It was amazing! The choir 
director is so funny but knows exactly what he is doing and I loved 
working with him! We also had David Archeauleta come and perform for 
us! He did such an amazing job and after he performed he wanted to 
shake every missionaries hand........ that’s a lot of hands!!!! 

This Christmas has been one for the books! Christmas Eve was so 
special. I’ve never felt the spirit so much before! We watched a live 
nativity performed by the presidents children which was so cute! We 
got to watch a movie on Christmas and Christmas Eve which was pretty 
great haha. There was so much that the MTC did for us that I can’t 
even remember it all and I’m so grateful for that! I’m so grateful for 
my district that I am serving with! They are all so special and in 
tuned with the spirit! We have become so close over these past 2 
weeks! I honestly couldn’t have asked for anyone better to serve with 
then my district! 

I have learned so much over the course of these two weeks! One thing 
I’ve learned that has really stuck with me that Elder Nelson shared in 
our devotional was “our faith is Jesus Christ is not faith in vain.” 
Our savior Jesus Christ lives. He lives for me, he lives for you, he 
lives for everyone. “We lived with our savior before, we try to live 
with him now, and if we do our part we WILL live with him again” Elder 
Anderson. I know this to be true and I invite you all to live your 
lives so that you can return to our savior again! 

I love you all so much and hope you all have an amazing week!
