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 Brayden Schneider • October 11th, 2010

Hey family, if you havent sent the package for my birthday dont send it!!!! it like 40 bucks (or more) for a little package to be sent here! its really ok if you dont i promise! you already do plenty for me! thanks
So i met 2 ladies this week from Utah, one lived in sandy, and the other in Lehi, hahaha funny huh, the lady from Lehi told me where her house is, and its right across the street for wal mart! hahaha small world!

Ok so are you ready for this crazy information!!! so everything went good this week, Sveto is getting baptisted on the 15 (this friday) and we are so stoked! He is doing way good, but.... random problems keep coming up (the devil works on investigators pretty bad), but everything will work out! so we figured out who is baptising him! his name is Franjo, he is the biggest guy i have ever seen, he is so cool though! hahaha he calls me "easy rider" hahaha not really sure why. (probably cause thats about all he can say in English) but we are working on getting him some white pants, its going to be hard cause his pant size 66 (in american its 54) haha so hopefully we will get them all ready! its going to be great because he has been a member for only 1 year, and he needs some branch support so its going to be so good for him! When i talked to him about it he was so happy! Sveto is as studdly as always, he fasted this sunday! oh man he is just to good.
Um... and also a different member is going to give him the holy ghost, his name is Samir, and he has been a member for like 1.5 years! so we are super stoked for everyone.

Ok cool story time, so this week we did a service project with are branch president and his family! hahahahaha it was so fun, so we show up at his moms house with his whole family and we picked grapes on a massive hill. It sounds pretty boring but the hill was super steep, and the grass was wet, hahaha and my comps shoes had no traction! haha oh man i was laughing like the whole time, cause we would be picking some grapes and then out of nowhere someone would just fall down the hill! hahaha (mostly my branch president and my comp) just cause it was so hard to stay up there. So we picked grapes for like 4 hours and had dinner with the family/extended family. And they were so funny and nice (they didnt really act like slovenians) haha but then we were about to go and they made us stay so we could see them press the grapes and make........ juice, hahahaha but it was crazy because they press the grapes like they did in the oldin days, it was fun! but...... i forgot my camera, i was so mad! I drew a pix in my journal though! well thats was the highlight of my mission, i had to much fun!

Thanks for everything, and all the letters! love
ME!
ps.... tell Andrew Schneider i miss the little guy!!!! thanks!
