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 • November 15th, 2010

that is so cool that grandpa saw sister justice at kohlers!!! hahahaha that was so funny to me. what i small world!!! ok so this letter is going to be a bit shorter cause i dont have much time cause the weather is amazing right now, so we are going to travel and see a castle and our bus leaves soon!

But listen to this story, this is probably my favorite story on the mission so far!!
so it was saturday at like 7:30, and in Slovenia, Slovenians shut down at like 5 or 6 so there wasnt anybody outside..... at all! so we were pretty far away from home and we were trying to find a blok ( appratment complex) that actually had people awake in them! so finelly we found a completely random blok that had about10 out of 40 lights on, so we go into it and take the elevator to the top, well we start get nothing and then we tract this door, and this kid about 11 or so, answers and so we ask for his dad or mom. So he yells to his mom, Well his mom come to the door with the 11 year old still there listening and we say something like we have more about jesus, and showed her the book of morman. And she says, "i am only visting and no no no i dont want religion", and tries to shut the door.... but the 11 year old boy stops the door and says, "i want to learn more about chirst, and god." but the mom interupts and says," no you have the bible." So then i try giving the kid the book of mormon before the mom could shut the door! But she just gets mad and shuts the door.... ANd that just hurt to see, so i was like well if they are just visiting they should be leaving soon, so i thought how i could get the kid the book of mormon, so i thought, (what would he look at when he left and hopeful his mom wouldnt notice) so in the hallway there was a little red box/shelf thing, that was about his hight. So i set the book of mormon on the box/shelf thing and just prayed (in my head) that the kid would find the book, and his mom would let him keep it, or his mom would notice!

So then we just kept going, then go to the next floor and we only did like 3 doors then i hear the kids voice up on the higher floor and then i heard them get into the elavator. So i like run up to see if he took it and sure enough, he did!!! It was so tight, and when we finished to blok we looked it the outside garbage to see if the mom throw it away or anything... but nope!! i was so pumped, it made me realize how planned out the lord is! and he know all that would happen. It was super cool to be a part of it, and i got to admit i was pretty sneaky! haha but now i got to go dominate a castle! thanks for the love!!!
