Elder Shaw's Mission to Madagascar: Trip to Salt Lake City (3/10/2011)

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

One would think that it would be such a big hassle to plan some fun activites in between General Conference and reporting to the MTC. Well it wouldn't be if Dylan wasn't being set apart before we leave. But with trying to stay within the Missionary rules. So here is the plan. we are driving to Salt Lake City, then to Afternoon session of General Conference. Monday we are going to the Salt Lake Temple, Red Butte Gardens and then to the Clark Planetarium. Then top it off with dinner at The Roof and a carriage ride around the city. So Sweet! Then we are going to the Mt Timpanogas Temple and then to Thanksgiving Point. Wednesday we are going on a sunrise hike then a session in the Provo Temple, do pictures at the MTC, then to lunch then back to drop Dylan off at the MTC. It's coming so soon.
