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 • July 18th, 2011

hey mom and dad thanks a TON for helpin with schooling!!!

ok well my comp and I are teaching alot! listen to this, we got 4 new investigators and they are all progressing! We are just destroying! its just so much fun, we are calling down the powers of heaven to help us out with this! Ever time we pray we pray for legions of angles to help us and to prepare people in Slovenia! its really really fun! time goes by so much faster when all you do is teach and have success!!!!

ok so we had one of the funnest experiences the other day! We had one member who is 17, and from Croatia stay at our place over night because he was going to EFY the next day (he is the only active aronic priesthood holder in Croatia). Well so we planned lessons and stuff so that he could be a missionary for a day and we had so much fun!!! it was a blast, and then we also got another EFY student later on and she came and taught with us! And it was so fun cause they loved being around us, and at one lesson we had 5 members on the lesson! And we just talked about how bomb they are and how they are going to have a HUGE impact on the church and we just got them excited about being members and stuff! But it was just fun cause neither of them have had an experiences with missionary work.

But when we were with them we were waiting for our bus and then it came so i stepped onto the entrance of the bus and then i turn around and the 2 EFY students were gone, so my companion (who was about to get on the bus) turns around to look where they went and then the bus driver shuts the doors and takes off... hahaha so i just start laughing cause i thought i was the only one on the bus, then i turn aroun to start walking to the back of the bus and the 2 EFY students were already on the bus. (they entered thru the exit of the bus), so i just start laughing even harder!! So it was us three on the bus and my companion at the last bus stop so he starts chasing the bus. hahahahaha (it feels so much better to watch your companion run to catch the bus, rather then if i was with him!) hahaha So he ran pretty far and then took a short cut to meet up with our bus! well he barely made it, but oh man that was just too funny!

Well this week was good, we are working hard and see success!!!

love elder schneider
