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! • My Missionary Commission • Elder Bruce R. McConkie •

LETTER: Elder Jensen • October 4th, 2010

Dear beautiful mom who I love so much. =)

Please tell Crystal and josh and lindsay and brett that I love them. And please tell them how I am doing. I would Write each person But as I said before. They only give us 1 hour to write anything and I only have about 6 hours on P-Day to do everything I need to do. I wish I could tell you all more on the things that have been happening here but ill just have to write a summary on what has been going on.

Things here have been going so much better then when I first arrived. I was so overwhelmed and had no idea how i could even come close to lasting 2 years and doing all this stuff. I didn't like knocking on random doors, I didn't like talking to random people, I didn't like having no time at all with how busy I was. But now i'm really getting use to it. I dont mind knocking on doors any more and I dont mind talking to people i dont know. I'm actually feeling very comfortable just starting conversations with everyone. I'm starting to get all the lessons down too and learning how to better teach them to there understandings. I'm still not use to the waking up at 6:30 though. I wouldn't mind more sleep =) But I know god is helping me do what I need to do. And i'm really glad to have met all the families here that I have. There so many people here in this poor town that need help and only a few will let us help them. There's so many drunks and drugy's and parents that dont know what to do with there children. Many divorces and addictions to all sorts of things. There are some that look at us like a living devil. And there are some that look at us as people that can help them. There are so many that could just use this gospel in there life's. But ya Andrew is getting baptized this friday so that should be exciting. This guy is really just ment for the gospel. He shared his testimony with us yesterday and he said the reason he even decided to learn more about the gospel was because he saw how happy the Mormon familys were with each other at a party and he saw that no one was drunk or fighting. Sadly that is/was what he was use too. That just shows how much people really do watch Mormon families though. So make sure you guys are always happy =)

I love you Beautiful mom and I miss you.
