Hey guys its Christmas... and they are letting us email our familys today..
So last night was Christmas Eve we had a devotional and it was really good no one talked but it was the nativity play that a bunch of missionarys put on and we all sung to it, it was really good.. very spiritual for just a play.. after the play they passed out popcorn to everyone and we got to watch the movie a Christmas Carol. We left early and just went to our residence home.. we had a huge sleep over on Christmas Eve, there where 7 of us in my room ha ha.. we played some fun games till like 1130.. then went to bed cause we were all tired,oh and by the way i did receive your packages... it was great I got so many gifts thanks mom you really went overboard:) and Sydney went over board too ha ha thank you guys so so much you got what i needed and more. Thank you so so much sydney, thank you so much for the Oregon hoddie its so fluffy I'm gonna die:) (dispicable me) my pillow is amazing I sleep like a little baby now hah ah and I haven't tried my toothbrush out cause its charging thanks mom:) on Christmas Eve we had to teach our teacher a basic lesson and in my lesson I was trying to say today our lession is about Christ and his atonement but instead of saying today I said bathroom and we started laughing.... so I have had some struggles in the language and its really hard to memorize everything but our teacher said me and my companion are really picking the language up fast so i am excited... oh and by the way Sydney your letters with your prefume on them are so so amazing ha ha only thing that reminds me of the real world ha ha. I told my companion I feel like Repunzel cause I can see outside life but I will never experience it in the MTC ha ha. I miss you all so much during the holidays I hope it has been a wonderful day for you all..Scooter sent me a package and a picture of goose in it, I laughed so so hard..... so I'm sure you all want to hear about Christmas and the devotional... well every single missionary in here met in the gym for sacrement and there were 2,120 of us that had sacrement together it was crazy and we were all waiting before hand to see who was coming to talk. I think that was the best gift ever when we all found out who it was speaking to us.. when ELDER BEDNAR walked in everyone had a sound of relief. His talk was so inspirational.. the main topic I picked up from it was that the natural man is the enemy of God and we all have the natural man or women inside of us, and what we need to do is to turn ourselves out like Christ does instead of turning ourselvs In like we usually do.. an example was when Christ was suffering for our sins in the Gethsemane he told three of his apostles to stay awake and they didn't.. he must have felt disappointed but not mad and then when they cut the guards ear off Christ heals him. Christs characteristics where not that he just bled out of every pore and suffered for each on of us but he was most worried about that mans ear.. not being selfish.. another is that our testimonies aren't enough to stay active but we have to be converted to Christ and our Heavenly Father his talk was so amazing... thats just a few things about it.. I will write all about it on Tuesday. Love you all and have a Merry Christmas.
Love,
Elder Crandall
