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

BUGS, BANKS, and the BISHOP (2/17/2011)
So today was exciting and busy. Hopefully the 1st of many busy days to come. So Dylan put his VW Bug up for sale on Craiglist. And he sold it in one day. He didn't sell it for what all the adults thought he should sell if but it was enough for his needs and knowing that the bug sometimes was unreliable he felt good about the price. If you want to know how much he sold it for you need to talk with Dylan. So we then headed to see Bishop Walker and tell him the good news and how Dylan is now out of debt (one of the requirements to leave). Dylan confirmed his Farewell date and topic. Which his farewell is March 27th and his topic is the Restoration. Fitting topic since he reports on April 6th and it is right at General Confernce. He even has to talk for 15 minutes as oppose to the average 3 minutes. Anyways also turns out that Dylan had a check from the Bishop for some days that he covered for someone at work. It was just enough to get his bank account into the positive with a bit left over. The Lord does bless you when you do service. Says Dylan. After chatting with the Bishop for a while we then headed to the Bank to pay off his credit card and pay off a few other bills. Dylan also put me on his bank account so I can put in some money for him if he needs it. Hopefully he shouldn't need any money but one never knows. But I am sure towards the end he will want some money for souviniers. So this all which wasn't much took us 2 hours to do. Hopefully all the other stuff we will need to do won't take alot of time to do it.
