"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!"

hi!

Family!
Wasn't General Conference great!? I have fond memories of our family all struggling to stay awake just during the Sunday Afternoon session and mom yelling down the stairs "President Hinckley is on!!" after we all slipped out of the living room one by one. I didn't even know what I was missing out on! We watched 3 of the sessions at members houses with Terry and one session at the church. I just had the feeling of being really uplifted and happy but at the same time seeing SO many things I need to improve in my life. It is interesting and extra rewarding listening to conference not only for me but also for the people we are teaching and searching for what would help them. I really enjoyed it.
Today we are going bowling as a district! If I don't die of hypothermia first.President arranged it so that I'll be flying out of Billings so that I can come and stay at the mission home and have dinner with him and Sis. Gardner and he said he wants to go to the temple with me too! I hope it all works out. I think I'll be heading over to billings next tues and flying out wed. So weird!Brandy and Tyler set a baptisimal date for Ocotber 25th!!! WOOHOOOO Terry is going to get baptized on the 11th now =) Life is great. I love being a missionary.
peace. sister o.
