Merry Christmas MTC Style!

O Christmas Tree!!



My Own Winter Wonderland
What presents are under the tree!! 

Santa's little Helpers!! Ho Ho Ho!
 MTC dosen't mess around when it comes to celebrating Christmas.  All the sisters in our district got tons of presents and packages, so we saved them all until Christmas morning to open them all.  The day was filled with tons of events including breakfast, Russell M. Nelson talk, some free time (which I love) a talent show, and then the Christmas Carol play.  I also saw Mr. Kruger's Christmas which I had never seen but totally loved! 
I have been here at the MTC for six weeks!  Crazy!  We taught our first lesson in Porteguese on Wednesday.  I was nervous the whole week before.  I was praying every second I had to have the spirit with me when I teach and the gift of tongues.  So, the beginning of the lesson I was totally shaking, but at the end I was holding my O Liuro de Mormon in my hand testifying of Joseph Smith.  It was amazing!  I just went in not caring about the language and just went with the spirit.  I didn't feel like it went as well, but the feedback from TRC was that I knew the language and that I was just scared.  Also, despite the fear I showed, I brought in the spririt.  I was on cloud 9!  The gift of tongues is real.  The Lord loves me and totally made up for what I couldn't bring.  I have heard it all happening, but couldn't attest to it until it happened to me.  I was really nervous when I was called to Brazil.  I thought to myself that it was going to be too hard.  But, in my time here I realize that the Lord doesn't care what language I am speaking.  It is the spirit I am to bring when I teach.  It was an eye opening experience.  So humbling! I love that we can come to the Lord anytime.  It is when we hit the hard times we sometimes forget that he has already gone through it.  The gospel of Jesus Christ is amazing.  I mean who really wouldn't want that in their life.
