Christmas in the MTC

I had "In-field Orientation" On friday which deal with aspects of misssionary work that aren't covered during the rest of your stay at the MTC ; things like working with members and and using mormon.org. It was a long long long day because we were in the same 2 rooms all day.

This morning in our sacrament meetind Elder David A. Bednar spoke to us. I found out that he grew up in Oakland, CA!!!!!!! he mostly talked about getting to KNOW the Savoir not just learning about Him. He showed us how The savior never thought about Himself and always looked out to help others. For example right after he had suffered in the garden of gethesamnae and had His 3 Cheif Apostles and another Apostle betray Him he waas being taken prisnoer and in the scuffle that ensued a guard was injured and bleeding. The savior did not take pity on Himself but turned to the Guard and healed him. That is the Charcter of Christ and the opposite of the Natural man. The Natural Man can only be overcome through the Atonement of Christ, or else he will remain an enemy to God.

I have a Christmas Devotional tonight and also a depature devotional so Its gonna be a great long Christmas!

I hope your Christmas is amazing!!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!!!

Elder Luis Gonzalez
