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 • August 29th, 2011

Dear Mom who I still love and will always love.

Things here in my new area are going great. Its always a little more stressful trying to learn everyone's names again but I feel like I'm getting really good at that by now. I still haven't seen the lake here yet but maybe I will go see it today for P-day and see what it looks like. I hear the lake here is very beautiful. So if its good enough maybe will have to come visit up here some time. Will see though

My new companions name is Elder Pierson. (not Kierson) The zone leaders told me the wrong name last time. He has broken about 8 different things on his bike since I have been here. Its has been pretty funny. We have been working hard though. This last week we have been helping a lot of people move so just so you know when I get back I am pretty much a licensed mover now with all the people that I have had to help move since I have been out.

Well we are living in a pretty nice apartment. Its the biggest apartment that I have stayed in so far so it has been very nice. We have no AC again though so I always have to be next to a fan or I just start to swim in my own sweat. And thank you for that birthday money. It actually was spent to fix up a part of my bike. So I have been living off of peanut butter and eggs and reeses for the past week. I no longer like eggs or reeses any more. Its ok though we are finally getting our next payment on Wednesday so that I can start eating something more healthy. I have been getting lots of protein though so I think that's good. Man I love my mission.

Well hopefully this week we will have more people that we will be committing to baptism. Its so weird how different each area feels. I love so many families here already though. I feel like this is going to be a really good area.

Well I love you my most beautiful mom
