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 17th, 2011

Hahahaha this week was so much fun! oh man we had some funny stuff happen to us.

So me and my comp are dominated maribor! i love it, its so fun, we are starting a stop smoking class and one member is going to teach it. And we have alot of really cool things that we are going to do for the class.
Also this week we had a lesson with a new investigator, he is super cool. He said he has been looking for christ church and that we is like joseph smith and wants to find truth! he is a stud! Tonight he is going to pray about the book of mormon and he is very honest and a good man. he will for sure get his answer.

Also... guess who got to give a baptismal interview!!!!! it was super cool, i loved it, i had a baptismal interview with deja. (the girl i contacted like 5 months ago, and asked her member friends about it) It was super cool.
ok so, this week we went outside of maribor to try and dominate some other cities! it was super fun, we went to two villages and contacted the whole entire city!

But i have a funny story about that. So on sunday after church we headed out to one of the cities. We had to take a bus out there and so we just deciced we would ride the bus until the bus driver stopped! so we did, it was super fun, then he stopped and said that was the last stop. Then when we were getting off he said "enjoy." We didnt think anything of it until we got off and checked when the bus was going to head back so that we could destroy the city and then get a ride home. Well it turns out there werent going to be any more buses going back, that was the last one. So we just decieded to contact and tract the whole city anyways. So we did, we contacted and passed out stuff to every single person for about 4-5 hours. Then we were like crap its going to take like 3-4 hours to walk back.... and it was 6 pm, so..... we hitch-hiked! hahahaha it was so fun. It took a while for someone to pick us up, cause everyone thinks we are crazy. haha but a lady and her husband picked us up. It was super cool, she was super nice.... and of course while we are in the car we brought up god, and truth!!! And the book of mormon! hahaha but she didnt want anything to do with it.
But think how cool a story that could have been if she became an investigator! haha next time!!!!
but things are looking up for the little old maribor branch!!! woot woot.

thanks for everything family!

ps... english class is looking good! we have some super good people! i will tell you about that next week!
