Buon Natale a tutti!

MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ciao Tutti!

This week has been crazy and oh so fun! I absolutley love my ward here in Milano, they have saved me! On Friday we had a Festa di Natale! It was a talent show with everyone. It is fun because in my ward we have Phillipinos, South Americans, Italians, and Americans. So we had singing in about every language. The missionaries we sang in Spanish, English, and Italian. It was very fun! Then also, the Relief Society had me and Sorella Boscia join in and sing a song with them. It was the hardest song of my life to sing, it was super high and I almost died before the program even began singing it hahaha. Also I wasnt wearing red like everyone else so the bishops wife gave me a red turtle neck to wear haha! I felt like I was in 2nd grade again, because I havent wore a turtle neck since then! It was great! The best part was there was 2 ladies in our ward who acted out Christmas Carol. Wow it was great! We were late getting home, that was the only downer. 

It has been great the spirit I have felt in sharing the gift of my Savior with Italy. He is the best gift ever to receive. Even though I am far from home and miss my family, I know I have forever with them---Because of my Savior. At this time of year I have thought what would I do if I was living at the time of His birth?? And my favorite question...Would I have run to see the Savior?? Would you run for the Savior? 

After all He has done for me I know without a doubt that I would run for Him, and I hate running. But He has given me joy beyond comprehending. I am so grateful for this knowledge. I hope you all have a Merry Christmas and share this gift of Christ with yourself first and then with others. 

Here is a picture of me and my English students!! My favorite thing in the world!!! 

Love you all and hope you have a Merry Christmas!!! 

Buon Natale!
