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 Schneider • September 20th, 2010

HEY tell mom happy birthday for me!!!! So this week was good! we kept meeting with sveto (our baptismal date) oh man he is a stud! He is so cool. He wanted us to come to his house this week (which is like a hour drive away) and he drove and picked us up. But his house is in the middle of nowhere. We had a lesson with him and at the end he prayed for understanding. But he is still coming to church and still doing way good! oh and i forgot to tell you, but he is almost finished with the BOM, he reads like 2 hours every single mourning, and loves it! so Oct. 15th he is forsure getting baptisted..... but there is only one bad thing.... his wife is crazy, 100% crazy, she came to church and stood up and started yelling crazy things, and waving her arms around! yeah it wasnt good, but Sveto is way patient with her and we as misisonairs cant teach her cause she is crazy. Oh yeah one more thing about her, so we had a lesson after church and she walked into the room when we were starting and starred yelling the wierdest stuff.. again.

But ok i have the funny story, so we went over to a family and had family home evening with them. And then they wanted to play Risk again, hahahaha oh man it was to fun. So i didnt want to lose this game so.... i had to cheat! haha Žan, (he is like 16) i needed a card he had, and he needed one i had so we switched! then i made a truths with my comp and told him i would leave him alone.. hahahahahaha, so then i needed another card and so my comp gave me on of his. Then i totally just destroyed my comp when my turn came! hahahahaha oh man i was laughing so hard cause every time he had to role he would get so mad at me! well i ended up killing my comp, and he was so mad he just didnt talk the rest of the night, and every time i laughed he just told me i was gay! hahahahahahaha but i ended up dominating everyone!

well we met another kid this week, he is 18 and he is super elect! we had a visit with him and he talked about the plan of salvation, and he loved it! he said he wants to live with god, and he will do anything! so we talked about baptism and stuff, and he said... crap..... i havent been baptisted! haha so we said well lets set a date, so Oct 23, he said he will be baptisted! he is good but he is going to be alot of work! but he met with him again and talked about what baptism is. it was good, and he is still on tract for being baptized!

Oh another thing, me and my comp took a bus out of the city cause we were supposed to visit someone and we got losted, we ended up walking 3 hours back home cause no buses were coming for like 2 days... it sucked! hahaha well glad all is good with the family! love you and have a good week!
