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: Sister Adrienne Schneider • December 16th, 2010

okay...can i get the list for you next week? that would be awesome! i haven't made one for thsi p-day and they aren't taking anything after the 22...which is next week...so we can just wait until i leave for argentina! which just blows my mind that i am going! nervous-excitement! i can't believe hwo strong the spirit is! we pretty much taught our last lesson completely in spanish to some investigators. i don't understtand exactly what they say...but you just need teh jist of it! i think i may have you get some good shampoo and conditioner to take to the mtc down there too witha squishy thing when you shower.
funny story...my roommates got me a razor ;) they were cheap but they got it as a joke. i was going to wait until someone said something....i shaved one leg and kept the other one hairy....just to see if anyone would notice. no one said anything for four weeks! but sunday came and i decided to shave since they got me a razor!
i am glad to hear about mikelle and mike! that was so neat for them to come and for chelsea to come as well! so fun!
and i didn't even know about Derek...i have heard he was dating...but i didn't know he asked for her hand!!!! how exciting!!!! yay!!!! please lmk how it goes!!!! i love derek! thatis neat about their movie too! bravo!
spanish is coming. most of the teachers comment on my spanish accent that it is really good...but i don't knwo fi that is because my congigation (spelling...sorry?) is so horrible that is the only compliment they can think of :) haha but it makes me feel good none the less. i told myself from the beginning i wasn't going to get discouraged about spanish....i think i have done pretty good. i have tried really hard not to complain on what i don't know and to concentrate on what i do. hermanas get way too stressed here! it is like when you get stressed mom, your stress brushes off on me....and so does the other hermana's stress.
i am signign 'silent night' with my deaf friend in the talent show. haha, i think i am learning sign language faster than spanish ;) but iti s fun! i love it!
p.s. i think my companion has the 'gift of tongues' because she can talk and talk and talk ;) haha so funny (i have to keep telling myself that! ;)
love you!
love always,
hermana schneider
