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 • May 16th, 2011

So this week was crazy... i say that ever week but we never have enough time.

So i have a couple of funny things to say.... so first off, sydney pace sent me an email of all the new stuff going on in American Fork, utah and she named off a huge list of friends that i had before the mission how are now all married!!!! hahahaha so remember collins girlfriend, well she got married to someone else. Hahahaha its really sad but really really funny also!

ok so we have someone with a baptismal date.... his name is Ljubo! he is a super cool guy. He is getting baptised on the 18th of June.

But on friday the branch had a picnic and it was the most fun i have had in a long long time! hahaha so we got to play volleyball and everyone was pretty good so it was super fun. Well we were playing for about an hour and the missionaries all played with there church clothes on. And.... i wriped my pants (the seam on the butt of my pants)... hahaha i know it stinks huh? ... it was like a three inch whole.... so i kept playing anyways cause it was too fun. But then they wriped really badly until i couldnt play anymore and i just had to sit down. hahaha it was super fun. good times.

more good news... so we got a new investigator this week and he is a way nice kid. And so we invited him to family night and he came. When we were walking to family night he asked if he could smoke, i said i didnt but he could if he wanted. Then we said hey guess what we have a program the helps people stop smoking! hahaha and he said cool lets do it tomorrow. SO we taught him the program and he has been a non smoker for 4 days so far! HE is really really good, he said in family night he wants to have a more meaningful life. So tonight we are going to talk about that with him!

Well thanks for everything! love you guys.

ps... congratulations rachel!
