[Teachldsseminary] looking for McConkie quote

I did a quick google search and found this in a Meridian article, but there 
were lots of other places listed, too.   I first read this in a biography of 
Elder McConkie.   I think it is used in many missions; I know the missionaries 
in my son's mission, the Florida Tampa Mission, memorize it.   Very powerful!

Elder Bruce R. McConkie wrote the following while serving as a mission 
president in Australia:


 MY MISSIONARY COMMISSION
I am called of God. My authority is above that of the 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 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.
