To start a thought from President Weston,
"My Calling: 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. 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, my acts are His acts, my words are His words, and 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 deed of the
divinity of His great and marvelous latter-day work.
HOW GREAT IS MY
CALLING." (Elder Bruce R. McConkie)
So this week has been super! On Tuesday we went out and
ate at Red Lobster and we had endless shrimp. I ate a small breakfast the
next day because I was still full!! and it tasted really good!!
Then on Wednesday Elder Saunders got a phone call from
President Weston, he asked him what is up with Elder Millett and they discussed
it in private. glad to be done with all that craziness!!!
On Friday I took a 4 hour trip in a 15 passenger van to go to
Omaha and open up an area! Opening an area is when a set of missionaries
gets put into the area for the first time after a while with no missionaries in
it. My new companion is Elder Hammond. He and I came out at the same
time. He is really funny and cool. We live in a brand new apartment
with everything new in it and it still smell like new carpet. We are also
living with 2 other elders. So 4 elders in 1 apartment. I am very excited
to get to know these new elders. They
are great. It will be a lot of fun and a
adventure opening a new area and sharing the Gospel with them.
So that is my week so far.
Love Elder Vance
