My Missionary Commission
MY MISSIONARY COMMISSION
I am Called of God. My authority is above that of the 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 words are his words, and 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 deed of the divinity of his great and marvelous latter-day work.
-Elder Bruce R McConkie

Passport & Visas (12/27/2010)
Today, Dylan's passport arrived in the mail. It was very quick to get here, I was just thinking to myself earlier in the day, I wonder when it will come, it should be here soon.
Anyways, it arrived today. VERY COOL. I have never seen a real passport, even though my sister and father had one. Its just kind of neat. Dylan's picture isn't the best but it will do also.
So now that the passport is here, the next step to do is to fill out the visa and sent it and dylan's passport to the MTC. But we also need to send a letter from the local police department stating that he has no criminal record. Interesting huh. I wonder how many countries require that. I also thought his Visa has to be mailed to Madagascar. Turns out there is a Madagascar Embassy in California. I do however, need to call the travel department because I don't know if I am suppose to wait and send all this information in when I receive the police record, which has to be no earlier than March 23rd. Yet the visa application has to be to them by April 2nd. Which is when we will be leaving to head to Salt Lake for General Conference and then we are going to do some sight seeing and then drop Dylan off in the MTC. Should be a very exciting weekend. I really need to start making a timetable to do list. There are SOOOO many little things that are now needed to be done.
