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 • May 31st, 2011

(NOTE: It sounds like Sister Schneider tried to send pictures but they didn't come through in my email. Sorry!)

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY MOM AND DAD!!! LOVE YOU!!!! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO TAY TAY THE 19TH...A LITTLE BEHIND THE TIMES! LOVE YOU TOO! AND ANYONE ELSE I FORGET...SORRY!!! LOVE YOU TOO =0)

we kept trying to send pics, but it isn´t working....grrrr...i tried! and so did my comp! so sorry! and you probably wont get any letters...cuz we have to wait forever! and we don´t have time!
OKAY..THE pics worked

the first is of the asado we had with the member for me ¨going away¨and for his ¨birthday¨ . it was great! my companion put the candles in the wrong way....haha it was super funny. i didn´t know their candles were fireworks either!!!

the other pic is of the baptism of teh mother and of her daughter, who was baptized after her 2 weeks later.another pic is of the famous sebastien sires...it was raining after the baptism of Celeste....we are doing the ´copo´signs...we are cool....

1. Almost always i eat oatmeal and fruit
2. What principle...probably the atonement and faith! I liked Elder Nunley´s imput how we can never have enough faith and there is always room for improvement....i love missionaries!

haha....and my comp...is really good at english. she knows more english than i know spanish. and so she is speaking to me in english more than my other english/american comps. so now, i am speaking more english. haha...oh well. she is super sweet-hearted.

the ward here is amazing! they are so supportive of the missionaries and missionary work. it has been a change to feel okay that i don´t know spanish completely. it sounds like they have had a lot of missionaries here and the ward is really strong. the members brought like three people to church, which is super great! the bishop wants us to eat both lunch and dinner with members in the ward. there are so many part membered families that we can teach. he thinks if we eat with them, we will always bless their home. so...if i weight a lot when i get back, i hope you still love me even if i am a chunk. the area is a lot smaller too so we don´t walk as much.
ANOTHER PIC IS OF ME AND MY BEST FRIEND MISSIONARY (red head). we have been with each other from the beginning. she jokes that she is really fat and gained 20 pounds...so we had to take a picture of it. she is super funny, you will have to meet her!

sorry this is crazy. we wasted most of the time trying to work the camera. we are working hard to find new investigadors because we don´t really have any. previously, they told me they didn´t contact in this area much. they had baptisms, but didn´t contact many people. so, we had a gazillion contacts the other day, looking for more people to baptize and teach....hopefully more today...with people ready to hear the gospel! haha

love always,
hermana schneider
