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 13th, 2010

ok so... guess who got an ENSIGN story for you!!! woot woot, its such a classical mission story! ok so on Sunday we were at church. And the sisters have an investigator that they have been teaching for about 2 months, and she is 23 and loves everything about the church and is getting baptisted next month. So she is pretty much the most elect girl i have ever seen. So i was sitting on a couch with Franjo and she walked in, and it was her first time at church in Maribor (my city) cause she usually goes to the Celje church (which is 1 hour away). So Franjo starts talking to her and asked about school, and stuff. Then she tells him about her baptismal date, and how excited she is. Then he says,"so how did you meet the missionaries." and she says actually him.... and she pointed to me!!!!!! I was like what??? are you sure?? haha then she tells me the story about three months ago she was walking down the street and me and my comp tried contacting her. She said, i asked her what is the purpose in life? (which is one of my favorite questions, i like asking deep question so if they dont stop then they will think about it) hahaha and she said she just walked past and told us she didnt have time!! haha (which is the usually answer).

So then later that day she went to lunch with some kid from Celje, and he is one of our stongest members. And she was like hey, " some Mormons talked to me today and they asked what the purpose of life is, and i have been thinking about it." hahaha so the member did a dang good job and taught her about the BOM and life and then she went to institute and loves everything. And now on January 23 she is getting baptisted!
haha then she admitted that she was sorry she didnt stop. hahaha i just laughed, and asked her if the question got her thinking!!! haha she admitted that she thought about the question alot. So i was pretty happy to hear the story, its just amazing how organized God is, and how he knows who he wants in his church!!

So score one for the Elders!!!
So i was pumped i got me an ensign story.

So things are good, kinda looking forward to transfers. hahaha, oh hey mom guess what?? so this week is my 1year mark and guess who wrote in their journal every single day!!!!!! yeah me!!! i know you should be proud, but now i got to get me a new journal to start this years. Well love you family!!!
