Speaking in Sacrament Meeting and Farewell Open House

 Elder Copeland spoke in the Utah Alpine 11th Ward Sacrament Meeting on Sunday, September 10, 2023.

His message was about the reasons he chose to serve a mission for the Lord and his testimony of the restored gospel.  He enrolled in two religion classes at BYU in order to further his knowledge of the scriptures and missionary work.  He expressed his gratitude for his wonderful family who has supported and encouraged him, as well as friends and other family members.  He is very excited to learn the Spanish language and begin his service in the California San Jose Mission.
