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 • August 16th, 2011

so you are probably wonduring why i am writing today. Cause yesterday was a holiday so everything was closed.

So i am really excited to hear that i can live at home for the first semester!! hey what day, and time does my flight arrive in utah?
Well good stuff happened this week. Actually i am really excited, we had a lesson with our main investigator and we read 1 nephi chapter 8, and talked about enduring to the end and everything. We 3 other members come on that lesson, and when we talked about it we felt that she is ready for baptism. She has came to church like 10 times in a row and said she will continue to come. Well tonight we have a lesson with her and we are going to ask if she will be baptisted on September 3! She will say yes i already know, but its still exciting!

Also we had zone conferance this week and we taught about refferals! And last week we got 3 refferals. We had a really cool exspericnce. So we were teaching a less active member and he has been doing really well lately, so we had a lesson with him and taught him about service, and then we decided the best way for him to learn service would to actually do it. So for our lesson he came with us while we visited some of the ladies in the branch. While we were with him i felt like i needed to ask about his parents. And if they were still living he said.. yes, and they live right there, (as he pointed to a building) then i was like cool man lets go visit them. But he declined, so we kept walking as i was trying to convince him, that we should go visit them together. So we just kept walking, for about 5 mins then the spirit started working on him and he said, ok if you wanna go visit them lets go. SO to make a long story short we visited them, and had a short lesson/visit, it was good... they really like us, so hopefully you will hear more about them.
Also we are teaching this members wife, she is super cool but wont do anything, and the spirit worked on her this week and she came to church! I didnt know she was coming and at the end of the meeting when i saw her i seriously like ran to greet her! it was the coolest thing to see her there!!!
We had alot going on this week. It was good.
love you family!
