My authority is above that of kings of the earth.
By revelation I have been selected as a personal representative of the Lord Jesus Christ.
He is my master and He has chosen me to represent Him–to stand in His place, to say and do what He Himself would say and do if He personally were ministering to the very people to whom He has sent me.
My voice is His voice, and my acts are His acts.
My doctrine is His doctrine.
My Commission is to do what He wants done, to say what He wants said, to be a living modern witness in word and in deed of the divinity of His great and marvelous latter-day work.
How great is my calling!
-Elder Bruce R. McConkie
Hey y'all! It's been pretty slow up here. We're just trying to find people to teach for now, though Elder S.is a pretty fun guy. He has the most subtle humor I've ever seen and doesn't show a ton of emotion, but we've been getting along great. He is also from Utah. From Centerville I believe.
The above quote is one of the things they have us memorize while we're out here. It has really spoken to me while I've been here. I kind of wanted all of you to read it and to know that I am not the only missionary out here. We, as a mission, at least, have been really focusing on member missionary work. I just want all of you to know that, though not all of you are currently called to be a missionary, that doesn't mean that you can't help bring our lost brothers and sisters back to our eternal family to come.
