Hey!
Because its Christmas day and we can not call home, we have the opportunity to email! I just want to say thank you so much for the gifts they are perfect! We woke up this morning at 5:45 as a companionship to open presents. Ha ha. Merry Christmas! We just had Sacrament with..............Elder Bednar!!!! We arrived early and sat in the fith row. He looked at me dead in the eyes it was so cool. The spirit was so strong! He talked about the Character of Christ and becoming more like Christ. Turning to others when the natural man would turn to himself. We have another devotional tonight with another apostle. (Not sure who it is yet). Last night we had a Christmas eve fireside. We were together as a district and read Luke 2 (Christmas story). We had music and read through Luke 2 as well. Christmas is different here but so far it has been a great experience. I hope you are all having a great Christmas! We go to the temple a lot as a district. Last night after we got out of class our district changed out suit coats inside out and put them on we looked legit! I will send pictures. The work is great and I could not be more excited to do it! I have already received so many blessing and I haven't even been in the MTC for a month now. Thank you for all the Letters that you send its awesome and helps a lot. I hope you are having a wonderful day. I want you all to know that i love you. and care about you!
Merry Christmas

News From The MTC
All,
Thanks so much for the letters! Its nice to hear from you all. I have taught 3 letters in Spanish with my companions. The 1st one was rough, however, the last one was amazing. Doctrine and Covenants 100: 5-8 are true. I can understand what are investigator is saying and can reply. We have a devotional coming up and on Christmas we will have a General Authority with us. We have 11 people in our District and 5 districts in our zone which is also are Branch. Our district is like a family. We are very close. Food is good except watch out for the orange juice it will mess you up. Ha Ha Thanks for everything.
yo se que la iglesia es verdadero. yo se que el espirito santo testifica de verdad. yo se que padre celestial quero me aqui. usted testimomio ayuda a vivir felize.
Amor,
Elder Grover

Hola familia!
Wow its so crazy here! Every second is scheduled and it goes by slow sometimes and super fast sometimes. I'm learning a lot for sure! The class we have is in Spanish only. We have to learn in a quick pace. Its coming though sometimes very slowly and other times faster. I'm learning a lot for sure. I have 2 companions, Elder Austin from Eagle Mountain Utah and Elder Putegnat from Haiwii. Things are good in our companionship, we all get along great. We have 11 people in out district. Seven going to Mexico Sur Ester (south east), 2 going to Vermosa Mexico, and 2 going to Peru. I at some times have found myself wondering if this is for me, cuz its not easy, but then I have an experience that totally changes my attitude. Its like the holy ghost slaps me in the face! ha ha. Hace Frio!! (is cold!!!). We had our Primero investigadora (1st investigator) yesterday in all Spanish, it was muy dificil (very hard) but i could understand almost everything he said, it was just hard to reply. I knew what I wanted to say I just didn't know how to say it. I know know how to pray in Spanish. I love it. I learned to testify in Spanish as well. We teach Abel investigator again today, and we will probably teach him to orar (to pray). How are things at home? Please tell people to start sending me some letters everyone is getting them except for me. Ha ha. I love you all and miss you all a lot, but I know this is what I need to be doing.
Love you all
Elder Grover
