Ry Mamako May 8, 2011 Mother's Day
Well, I promised some stories. I have a few. Lets see. We were at the TRC yesterday and we had some analogies ready and some scriptures ready. So we were somewhat prepared. We go in there, ten minutes go by and going real well. We share a scripture, was the wrong scripture(was in Malagasy) so, was not to sure what it said. I started saying an analogy, going good, the investigator looks confused, I realized it was the completely wrong analogy!!! Was crazy. Started laughing, said oh shoot! Then it went downhill from there. I was teaching the five steps of repentance in same lesso, got through the first 3 steps and completely spaced the last 2 steps. Said I forgot and just skipped it. It was way bad, But , I enjoyed it very much. It was a learning experience and I take it as one. Malagasy is still coming very well. In time, been hangin out with Demetrius more. He is my piece of real life i guess. Love that big guy! Definitely goinna see him when I get back. He could be transfered to mada as well. if they have too much missionaries in La Reunion. So it is possible!!! Way stoked to go to Mada. But a teacher is leaving on Monday to go to mada. Hoping to see him. I think that is all I was to say. Love you. Write you on tuesday. Tia anao aho.

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
