Elder Shaw's Mission to Madagascar: Saying Goodbye In Tucson (3/30/2011)

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

So today, went to Tucson to see and say goodbye to Dylan's grandparents and friends. It was a good day. I am surprised though no tears from Grandma nor from Dylan. After this trip Dylan has some thank you letters to write. This was also Dylan's last time for Dylan to make this drive. As in Madagascar he doesn't get to drive cars, its an all walking mission. Lets home he remembers how to drive when he gets back.
