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 30th, 2010

hola familia!
so, christmas was great! i really wanted to talk to brayden...(elder schneider) and get some funny ideas on things you can do with your companion...but i think i came up with some on my own ;)
i love being a missionary adn christmas was awesome! i definitely used teh carebear outfit and brightened many 'home-sick' hermanas' days! many of their compaions were like, 'thank you!' because they coudln't do much with their companion being so homesick! elder nelson spoke to us and he is sooo stinkin smart! he is really funny too...nice to know you can be yourself and still work hard and know a lot of things! there was a talent show from the mtc and there are some incredible talents here! my companion sang...she is a music major....she is amazing! seriously though, so much talent here!
the language is coming...surely but slowly....we supposedly know a lot because we are the 'oldest' district in our zone right now.....some of the other elders are pretty much fluent! haha but it is fun! i get to say a lot of funny things and make up words in spanish, and people seem to understand what i am saying...most of the time! it is fun talking to the natives, they can correct my spanish all the time ;)
elder nunley...yaya i love that elder! my favorite here! ( i can say that to family...) but i was able to talk with him and he doesn't have his VISA yet, so he will be reassigned for a bit...probably in utah... most likely provo ;) no joking either. i was almost rolling on the floor (camon: ROFLOLOLOL). but hopefully his visa comes soon. he has a chance of going to Vegas as well, so we should know by next week. they want to keep him close so they dont' have to send him too far back when his visa gets here.
i feel like i have so much to say but then i get to the computer and can't think of much! ah well! i am working hard! the spirit is so strong and it is so fun to bear your testimony all the time, especially around teh Chrismas season! i invite all of you who read this to bear your testimony about Jesus Christ to someone....TODAY! i love talking about Jesus Christ!
i can't think of much else to say, but i will write soon enough!
oh y a... Elder Nelson said we would be blessed if we wrote our families every week...so i am going to try to...(so i can be blessed ;) haha jk...so YOU can be blessed by hearing from me ;)
love always and forever,
hermana schneider
