"I am called of God. My authority is above that of 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 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 in deed of the divinity of his great and marvelous Latter-day work. How great is my calling!"

HEY HEY!

How are you all!? I can't believe Dad's Truck and nearly every electronic device you own got stolen! People have issues. My heart just felt so sad when I read that, but mom and grady told me about it and they both just sounded so positive. I hope that everything turns out okay =( It seems like Whitney did so well at her gym meet that having the truck stolen didn't phase you nearly as much as it normally would have! Go Whit! So last week I mentioned that we would have a mission conference, and guess who came!? PRESIDENT UCHTDORF AND HIS WIFE! It was SO amazing. Since it was my p-day Sis. Lara and I went early and got a seat on the front row by the door he walked in. The Spirit was so strong as he talked about how inspired each of our calls are and how we are here to share the gospel withe world. He said the thing he misses most about not being in the Quorum of the 12 Apostles is getting to help decided mission calls. His testimony of the Savior and the Restoration of the fullness of the Gospel of Jesus Christ was so powerful. Afterwards we got to shake his hand and took a group picture with him. It was so fun! Also, this week has been much better becuase things in the office have slowed down and Sis. Lara and I have had some assignments outside. On Valentines day the square looked pretty empty and Sister Lara and I just had 2 tours in our schedule and office the rest of the day. We went out for our 11:15 tour and all of the sudden there were 17 people ready to take a tour! There was a big Women's Conference this week a couple of families on our tour heading to California from Canada that wanted to stop by Temple Square. The tour went great and at the end, one of the ladies from Michigan who accepted the missionaries wrote on her card that she wanted to learn more because "is is a very peaceful place and full of information about our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ." That made me so happy because our purpose as misisonaries truely is to invite others to come unto Christ. As I have had the opportunity to share with our guests that Jesus Christ knows them personally and has felt everything they have felt, and is always there with His arms stretched out to them, it has strengthened my testimony that Christ really loves us and we can have a personal relationship with Him. I love you all so very much and really appriciate your letters and emails! I have amazing family and friends!!!!!!!
All my love, Sister M. Olsen
