You will have to see my notebook to know! Time to mamaly anoa fanontaniana!! Food is always (foana) good. it is like high school. Big cafeteria, go get your food and BOOM! your set, plus they foana have cereal during every meal. But, the safako (food) is tsara(good)! We have roa(two) nametags! One for the suit and iray hafa(another) for the white shirt. I did find my recommend, it was in my side pocket. I can't find the stamps though! and starting to learn the teny gasy first day! My cold is just momba(about) gone. My toe is still crazy nasty though, so health clinic tomorrow morning. if you would like, the only thing I really need is stamps, and my BROWN blanket if possible. Besides that I'll keep you updated. The spiritual cloud was a lot to take in at first but I embrace it and doing tonga lafatra(perfect). Tell Lilly and Dayna & Camryon & Ty & Richard & Taytum(only if she misses me) & tell you I miss you. I got my first letter from Jacob Reed which was awesome, then yours which was tonga lafatra.

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
