Welcome to the year I have been waiting for my whole life! 2012!!!!!

Happy NEW YEAR!!!  I have been waiting for this year since I was 12 because the year I turned 12 I thought it would be cool to be turning 12 on 2012. I never thought I would be in the MTC. I am so excited though! I know that I am not supposed to be anywhere but here. It is weird though even though this year is here I didn't even notice it. Mainly because when I forget what day it is everyday! The weeks just fly by.
 
Last night we had a guy come speak to us. He talked about all the MTC's all over the world and showed us pictures. It is amazing to think that there are 14 different training centers with missionaries just like me getting ready to teach the gospel! Can you believe there are that many? Of course they are not as big as this one and some are bigger but it is just amazing! I am so excited to be apart of this work!
This week we taught a lesson to our district on the Godhead. I was in charge of teaching about our Heavenly Father. It was amazing! I can't remembered the last time I sat down and studied that topic. I did find a scripture where it says "God winked". I think it is in Acts 17 I think verse 29. I know it is near the end of the scripture. Anyway I thought that was kind of cool. Hermana Blasko spoke on Jesus Christ and Hermana Donaldson spoke on the Holy Ghost. I can't remember what was said exactly but at one point it really hit me. I know the Holy Ghost is a gift I have been given since I have been baptized and I know that he is a member of the Godhead but for some reason I was more aware of what this means. 
 
The Holy Ghost is a member of the Godhead that we have been given as a gift to have with us at all times as long as we are living righteously. Isn't that amazing? When I thought of that I pictured having President Eyring or President Uchdorf walking around with me telling me what I needed to hear and keeping me safe. Wouldn't that be cool? Well it is because we really have that gift. I really hope this makes sense! I just had this realization how blessed I am to have that awesome gift! You will have to do some research on the Godhead and let me know what you find.
 
I love you all! Thanks for everything! Happy New Year!
