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 Jared Jensen • January 31st, 2011

Alright so my new area here is pretty good. The members are great (They always are) Our apartment isn't too nice and it smells a little funny. Tell you the truth it smells kinda funny and I'm not sure where the smell is coming from. Its been lots of fun though. We have a part time car that we share so that's pretty nice as well. I wish I had more stuff that has happened but right now I'm having a hard time learning the new area.

Well remember how I would always joke with my friends about being called to the "North Idaho mission"? Well ya, God thought it would be pretty funny too. . . =) So I'm right by the University of Idaho. We do the family wards but we tract into a ton of college kids.

Alright and for the small miracle of the week is going to sound kind of funny but it really did happen. Ok... So the GPS that Josh sent me has helped me out so so much in my new area. My new comp has no idea where he is going so it has saved as plenty of times. Anyways for some reason it started to not work for some reason.(The screen wouldn't turn at all) I really tried to do everything. I tried to turn it on and off. I plugged it in to the power cord all over the apartment and car. I left in for an hour and blew on the power cord and nothing would work. I had no idea why. But that morning as I was doing my study I came to a scripture in Mormon. Saying have faith in Jesus Christ and pray unto me and I will give you what so ever you asketh. So I decided if that were possible that god would do that for anything even this very small thing like a GPS. So that's what I did. I said a prayer having faith that he would do it.... And guess what.... Bloop!!! It came right on! I was actually laughing out loud! I know that it sounds so cheesy but that's really what happen. And if it didn't we wouldn't have made it to any of our appointments that day.

But if god would do such a small thing like that just think about what bigger things he will do for us if we just pray to him with faith believing that we will receive. That was really one of my first prayers believing that I would receive.

But that's my small miracle for you. I will probably have more stories to tell you next week. My step training is going alright too so don't worry. =)

I love you my best mom ever =)
