Visit from Elder Kopishcke

Elder Ferrell and Elder Larson

Well this week was something.....I don't think I have ever been more tired in my entire life haha. We had Elder Kopishcke of the 70 with us from Sunday-Wednesday. We had a Zone conference on 2 of the days and then an MLC. It was super powerful and he taught us a ton of things. Elder Kopishcke's wife was the funniest person ever haha. We were sitting waiting for MLC to start and she came up and shook our hands and told Elder Ferrell and I, "You AP's have the funniest faces". Elder Ferrell and I look at each other and were super confused haha but then she just said, "I mean in like a positive way". Not really sure what she was trying to get at but it was super funny. MLC was so good because all of the missionaries that are leaders in our mission right now are really good friends and so there is a lot of honesty and trust in that group so we are able to talk really openly with each other. After he left Elder Ferrell and I went to the office to do some things and we hit a wall haha then we just thought everything was funny.

Right before Elder Kopishcke left he told me and Elder Ferrell, "you know what to do now right? You need to meet with President and decide what you are going to do because of this". The next day we got to meet with President and Sister Hewlett and talk about the things we learned and what we can impliment in our mission. It was also President Hewlett's birthday that day so we had some missionaries come over and we had a surprise party for him. President and SIster Hewlett are the best people ever! I love them so much.

This weekend we had ward conference so there were a ton of people from the Fall Creek ward! It was so awesome to see them and I love those members so much! We also got to see President Rascone speak so that was awesome. This next week we have the opportunity to go the the temple and we have 3 exchanges so it is going to be a busy one! 

One of the things I loved that Elder Kopishcke talked to us was about the power of the Book of Mormon. The authors were Nephi and Jacob who wrote about Isaiah. Then you have Mormon and Moroni who talked about the Brother of Jared. And in the middle of those 6 people you had the Savior's personal ministry to the Nephites. The thing that all of those people had in common was they were eye-witnesses of the Savior. When we read about the Book of Mormon we learn about the Savior so read it. I know it will help you learn more about the Savior. 

Love you all and have a great week!!!

(also before you think I'm breaking the rules mom President told us to take our Pday until 6 because President wanted to interview us today so we didn't get done with meetings until like noon)
