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 Schneider • December 6th, 2010

so... i have bad news, the family.... we went to get with them but they said they had someone over, so we couldnt get with them. But next week hopefully they will!!!

ok, so wanna know something funny, well.. i still dont have my visa yet!!! i know crazy huh, so i am hoping the cops catch me and move me down to Bosnia cause i wanna serve there so bad! I was supposed to get my visa within the first three months of my mission. haha oh well.

So, this week was different. My comp went down to Croatia for a meeting so i went to Celje with a different missionary! it was way fun, we taught English class and i got to meet some of his investigators! it was fun to have a change cause in maribor we are so far away from everyone, i can only talk to my comp so its kinda boring!

Ok so another thing, we went in the moutains and cut us down a Chirstmas tree!! hahaha i know its against the rules, haha but the tree was just so pretty! haha we had so much fun. But it snowed all week and we have like 1 foot of snow and in Slovenia they dont shovel there sidewalks so it not the funnest to walk around!

The best thing happened this week though!!!!! so we have the draškovič family that has been inactive for like 1.5, but we still have family night with them. (this is the family i play risk with) well the dad is the best member we have and comes to the church ever week and cleans it. And the only thing he wants in his life is for his family to become active and go to the temple! so we have been getting with all the members in the family. Well... nothing has worked, but we just try random projects and stuff to try to get them reading. Well it worked, the family is reading.... and for the first time in like a year the whole family came to chruch!!! oh man when Adrej (the dad) walked into church he was just smiling so big, i would have thought he won a car or something! but he was so happy. I was one of the best memories i have had on the mission just to see him so happy! well we are going to keep working with the family and one of their sons, Žan cause he is 17 and so hopefully we can get him going on a misison!

well thanks for everything family!!! but i have a couple of questions

1. whats the word on derek davidson? (concerning marriage)
2. Dad, i just thought of this but next letter will you send me a message on how you were baptisted and stuff. (what was hard, why, what blessings have you seen, and what you thought about the wierd mormons before you were baptisted) ok thanks everyone!!
