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 29th, 2011

That is super cool to hear about Tina deffering from her mission call! sounds like love is in the air!

mom that is cool to talked to elder hadley... i never met him cause he was from Croatia... and i am in Slovenia. But that is super cool!

You guys are not going to believe this but this week the sisters in our district had a baptism and guess how many investigators/non members showed up? 25!!!!! it was amazing and we had like 18 members there. I was loving it after the baptism cause we had a chance to talk to all the non members and get some phone numbers! Also the branch president asked my comp and i to give a first lesson for one of the baptismal talks. I was kinda nervous cause i we were in a tiny room and there were so many non members that we were praying really hard for the spirit! it was great though, we challenage everyone there to read the BOM and ask god, and everyone took a BOM after the baptism! Also last week we got two new investigators!

So yeah it was a good week president said we need to work on inviting so i have started to. We were on the train going to visit a member and someone invited me to sit by them, we talked for a while and i decieded to practice inviting so i invited him to prepare himself for baptism. He said yes! hahaha so that was a cool exsperiance, but the only problem is, is that he didnt have a phone so he said "i will call you next week" so i will pray for him that he will call!

oh yeah we had some nice visitors from some spanish speaking country and they didnt know any english or slovene, so i "pretended" for about 20 mins that i knew what they were saying... man spanish is so easy though, i was having so much fun though talking to them! It was really weird to meet nice people though, because in slovenia the culture is so different, and it was weird to talk to people that are exciting to talk to, slovenians are quiet, shy and not really open or outgoing. It was just really different.

One lady we are teaching accepted a baptsimal date for september 17! So also gave a BOM to her mother this week!

Well things are good!

ps... i will send some pictures home sometime...... sorry i always forget.
pss.. Do you guys want anything from Slovenia?
psss.. i have a feeling missionaries are going to Bosnia soon!!!! president said something about it on our meeting. Pray that he will choose me, i would even stay an extra 6 months if i could serve there!!!

one other thing, i was laughing so hard when i read adris email about how the ZOne leaders always focus on baptisms and stuff and that her distict leader is like way cool! hahahahahaha its funny cause it seems like that is the same everywhere ZL are always the bad guys! hahahaha (i am a zone leader) oh man that is funny stuff!
