It is Elder Shapcott's 25th Birthday today!!

Elder Shapcott is in a three-some companionship as one of his roommates Elder Taylor, was sent home due to recent surgery reprocussions. His companions are Elder Harmon (who is his companion) and Elder Riley (who was Elder Taylor's companion). Elder Riley's father served his mission in Calgary Canada and served some time in Lethbridge (small world). He said some of his great aunts/uncles are still in Lethbridge.

Elder Shapcott's spirit is growing in each letter. He says the spirit in the MTC is strong. He enjoys the visits from the Seventy and relates a story that Elder Douglas L. Callister of the Seventy spoke about Latter Day Saints being Christians. His talk was on Jesus Christ and how we are in His Church. Elder Shapcott also says they have had some of the Seventy visit their classroom which he enjoys.
