BROTHER FERRELL?

Hello everyone!! 

Week one at the MTC finished and only two more to go! The MTC has been amazing so far! The spirit is so strong here and I'm learning and strengthening my testimony so much every day. I can't believe how amazing sharing the gospel is. After every lesson me and my companion teach, I walk away feeling extremely happy. I know that us missionaries are supposed to be blessing the lives of our investigators, but I doubt they know how much they are blessing our lives and mine specifically. The Gospel is great!

Ok so we had a crazy experience this week! As you probably know the MTC is giving tours to show the new buildings to everyone and I ran into a totally unexpected visitor! Will Ferrell!! I never would have guessed that he would come do a tour at the MTC. I had to take a picture with him it was crazy!



Just kidding! That's not Will Ferrell that's my companion! He is awesome! But literally all day everyday people come up to us and ask him if he knows that he looks like Will Ferrell. It's the funniest thing ever! People call us Will Ferrel and Kevin Hart because he is 6'5" and I'm 5'4." Its the best. His name is actually Elder Walker and he's from West Jordan, Utah and he is going to the Los Angeles California mission as well. And crazy enough his sister went to the exact same mission! She got back two and a half months ago just in time for Elder Walker to open his call to her mission. Crazy!

As I've gone through this week I've really loved learning of Christ and focusing on my purpose of helping others come unto Him. I really love this scripture in Matthew 11 verses 28-30 and it says: 
 
        "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light."
