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 • January 10th, 2011

Hey grandpa and grandma thanks for the care package!!! it was quite delightful! so... this week was something else, i am having alot more fun in my mission. So we passed out flyers for english class, and this week was so so cold, i am suprised i didnt die, handing out all those flyiers! ok so good news on friday we had sign ups for english class and we have some of the best people that came and signed up. we got about 35 people to sign up, so we are really hoping we will be able to find people that what to hear about christ thru english!
ok so... i would have to say, if every mission had as much faith and good personality as sister adri schneider, i am pretty sure everyone would already be baptisted! :)
ok so, i went down to Ljubljana for a meeting this week and this mission is changing for the better! this meeting was for the leaders in each city, oh man it was so good, these are some of the best missionaries in the world!!! i am not joking, but our leaders and the attitude and the work ethic is going to be increase so fast! So my district is way good, we are kinda younger but age really doesnt make one difference! my district has so much faith, and they are so conviced about us getting 8 baptisms that nobody could ever tell anyone in my district that we wouldnt get 8 cause its too hard, they are way good.

So the meeting we had was over night, and the leaders from serbia and croatia all came up and stayed 2 nights. So the fun thing was is we went contacting with them.... hahaha i got to go with a croatin, and it was fun trying to understand them, and the best part is they cant understand slovenian at all, but we can understand them a lot better for some reason.

So i am getting pretty excited about the work here, we got a new mission leader and that is a huge step, now we are going to be working together with the branch.

so..... i have something funny to tell you... this week, you guys will think me and my comp are crazy, hahaha but you know it the oldin times, when Brigham Young and those people went on missions, they would just stand on a box, and just testify and talk about the BoM and like a whole group of people would listen........ well you guys are going to laugh, but me and my comp are going that tommorow, you think we are joking but, we figure it cant be any worse then contacting!!! hahahahaha plus how cool of a story is that when we find people that really want to listen!!

me and my comp are doing good, he has a unique personality which is really fun.... really unique! but we get along and work hard.

But now i am going to go on a hike, cause today isnot snowing! so got to go, love you though!!!
