My Missionary Commission

by Elder Bruce R. McConkie
From The Harvester
I am called of God. My authority is above that of kings of the earth. Byrevelation I have been selected as a personal representative of the LordJesus Christ. He is my master and He has chosen me to represent Him--tostand in His place, to say and do what He Himself would say and do if Hepersonally were ministering to the very people to whom He has sent me. Myvoice 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; tobe a living modern witness in word and in deed of the divinity of hisgreat and marvelous Latter-day work. How great is my calling!

Bubba used this in his talk Sunday.
(crediting you Steph) He did a wonderful job. It was so spiritual and emotional. One Sister in our branch told him it was the strongest she had felt the spirit since being baptized. He is going to be an amazing missionary.
