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 • March 28th, 2011

A ton happened this week!!! it was pretty crazy.... so i gave a member a book (that journal that mom sent me) hahaha i gave it to Andrej (Andrej is a super good member but was having a really hard time) and wrote a little message about how he is the best! He loved it so much! And when i gave him the book i didnt have any wrapping paper or anything so i wraped it in tin foil! i would highly suggest tin foil for wrapping any presents!! hahaha but the next day he was talking to president Fidler about how the missionaries are the best, and then after the meeting he told me he cried it ment so much to him! so mom if you have any extra notebooks then send them my way! hahaha jk

ok so we probably did about 20 hours of service this week. It was warm and everyone was asking for service.... but we also taught 18 lessons and got 2 new investigators!!! so it was a super busy week, we had to leave the appartment early every day. And i have alot of blisters!!! We went and did service at president fidlers dads house, and we had to move a huge pile of dirt up the hill with a wheel barrel. It was the best, i got super sun burned! but oh man it sounds weird but i really really miss working like that.

So church was crazy..... we had like 40 people there!! hahaha but its because we had 20 visitors for Austria, it was really interesting getting everything set up. But wow it was sooo cool to see more then a couple people show up to church. I think it gives other members hope. But sveto showed up at the end of the meeting.. and i was talking to him and his wife started going crazy! like really crazy, it was bad she started yelling and so we had to take her into the other room, and she will only listen to sveto so he calmed her down. Then later she went crazy again but sveto was having a meeting with president fidler and all the members didnt know what to do so luckily she listened to me, i tried to take her on a walk but she wouldnt she just kept yelling like really really really weird stuff, so i kinda just carried her to the other room and then she calmed down, and i turned on Noahs Ark (its the only movie we had in Slovene) hahaha but yeah it was a really good sunday but a little exciting!

Also our english classes are so so good! we have tons of students and one lady asked if she could borrow the book of mormon! haha but then she was extra excited when i said she can have it! haha but she is going to be learning more this week!

Ps... i am really good sewer mom! just so you know. i sewed up my pants and bag! It took about 2 hours though!
