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 25th, 2010

Ok i dont know if Bryce told you but he said he heard a Elder from Slovenia speak.... and i totally know him! his name is Elvi! hahaha and i dont even try to spell his last name cause its super tough! But that is just crazy... Bryce said he talked to him, and Elvi told him i look exactly like him! hahaha

So this week was a little different.... we went Bowling... hahahaha it was so fun. The members organized a day to go. And its super cheap here, only $2 for unlimited bowling for 2 hours. So we played like 4 games. And of course i won!!! :) And another excited thing happened this week, on monday (our p-day) we climbed to a castle, and he had to climb up this huge rock wall, kinda dangerous but i survived! haha (ps... dont tell my president).

But this week we actually did about 15 hours of service, it was way fun. We helped a non active member build a patio for his garage. (when i worked building pools it was alot of that kind of work) So it was super good cause i knew how to do it, and because my companion and the non-active member arent the most cordinated... i pretty much build most of it! haha but it was great i loved it, its nice doing physical work!

Ok one other story... so you probable think all we do over here is play but we dont. haha Cause we got a new investigator this week, and when he came to church he saw we had a ping pong table, and he was like, "i am so good at ping pong" hahaha and so of course i challenged him to a match! hahahaha i was super suprised, cause i played really good, BUT this guy plays weekly with his friends and pretty much practicing ever day! hahahaha good news though, at the end of the game i had him running around, he was sweating like crazy, i thought he was going to have to take half time or something! hahaha good times!!!

ps.... got you some pictures!!! woot woot!

But Sveto was also confirmed this week in sacrament meeting, and it was great to see that we will have more preistood in the branch! Oh one other thing about Sveto, so he is actually moving to kopper for the winter, cause he was building his house in maribor, but because of the winter he has to stop building until next spring! So he actually drove about 3 hours to church, but said he is going to start going to Ljubljana church for the winter then come back up to Maribor. He is such a good guy, he told me thanks for teaching him and that he will help try and build up the church where he lives!
