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 • October 3rd, 2011

hey mom!

conference was an experience! haha, we haven´t had many people come to church, but we have been working really hard and 6 investigadors came to church! which is just amazing! we have been working and talking with about 1000 people every week!!!!

we really did see a lot of miracles. it is interesting to see people more receptive to the gospel when things in their life change. one investigador was beaten up and was in a coma. he is learning to re-walk and everything. but he came to church and really liked it. without that experience, there is no way he would have ever come to church. then, two mothers came to church with their kids. i felt bad because one of the moms left early because her kids were loud and running around. for me, i understand the kids...two hours of sitting in a seat listening to öld men talk....haha i just tried to let her know it is normal. she left early ;( but i hope the members aren´t upset and accept her.

we also brought a young man that is studying with the jehovah´s witnesses. i am almost certain he knows the church is true, but he won´t change...and i don´t know why yet. one of the members that is just amazing, came up to him and said...if you invite me to your house, i will go! haha (We have been trying to get lessons with members...it has been so hard because we can´t the members to come with us). this member is amazing!

then, we had an investigador come, the elders talked with him, but didn´t tell us that he is in our ward, so we weren´t able to get to know him. but they said he came and said he wants to get baptized!!!! yeay!!! we called him, and will try to pass by him.

also, we have received a ton of referencias from members....which i have never received so many references...i think it means that the ward trusts us and knows we are working....which is many blessings!!!!

i love conference! i love the prophet and his apostles!!! i didn´t get to hear much cuz we were always with investigadors and their kids....we tried to play with their kids so the parents could listen. the relief society was great! i loved elder uchtdorf´s talk! i love conference! i never really realized how awesome it is that we have a prophet. i love the prophets! i really love conference!!!!!

yea, not sure what to write!

love you lots,
hermana schneider
