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 • December 20th, 2010

oh my i had the best week!!! i was loving life when i got a package from you mom and dad! and thanks stillmans, greg davidson, and jessie for writing me!! Serious though the package was perfect! and it made it here in way good contion. Thanks tons!

ok so i have a little different story this week, so we did something called (the maribor raid) and all 14 missionairs in slovenia came up to my city and we just destoryed it!! we visit a ton of formers and less actives and contacted a bunch! So we got new companions for a day and i got Elder Nelson and just so you have an idea about Nelson he is about 5,5, he likes magic tricks, has a comb over, and wears his pants high, and wont ever wear a belt! hahaha he is a pretty funny kid though, he does everything oppisite of everyone else, which i like that about him.

But me and him got along way well. So at first we were assigned to stay in center and contact for about 1.5 hours. it was good, but we tried something new (cause Nelson is alot like me). We tried contacting in English so that more kids would stop, well the first 2 kids we stopped were 18 and pretty cool kids. Then i was talking to one kid about snowboarding and 5 of his girlsfriends came up (probably cause they thought i was cute! :) haha) so we started teaching about the BOM, then 5 more kids came up, then 5 more, pretty soon me and Nelson had like 20 teenagers asking us random questions about our faith. It was so cool, Nelson was way funny. But it was so so funny cause when they wanted to keep something a secret they would talk in slovenian, (cause they thought we only spoke English) and we could understand everything so it was just too fun.
Well what ending up happening is we gave alot of the kids BOMs and got some numbers. One kid really liked it and just hung out with me for pretty much the whole time! But i was like a dream come true, you know the pictures of the missionaries standing on a box preaching to like 20 people... well it was kinda like that... but cooler!
But we had a christmas concert this week, it went good. But i will tell you guys more this week!
Merry Christmas!! and cant wait to talk to you!
ps... something random for you, so Franjo (my favorite member) went to the store and bought me and my comp a little bottle of axe deoterant. hahaha yeah we were a bit confused too, haha he is such a funny guy!
