So last week Sister Knudsen from our ward found out that a boy she works with just received his call and is going to....yup..madagascar.Demetrius leaves April 27. So Dylan and Demetrius will defintely get to know one another. Anyways the Knudsens invited Dylan and Demetrius over to their house for lunch to introduce them. The Demetrius came over and I met him. He is a really nice guy. VERY TALL, Very nice kid. Dylan and D will have fun together.
The other cool thing about this day is that it was Dylan's 19th birthday. He is such a big boy :). All he wanted was a pair of Chuck Taylor converse. We were happy to get them as he can use them on his mission. He also had four cakes one for 19th, 20th, and 21st birthday and one from his friends, and he had about 36 mini cupcakes from another friend. I was a good birthday from a moms perspective.

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
