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 Colton Nunley • November 16th, 2010

ok so first off funny story... me and elder cluff had to get to know people in spanish for 15 minutes and then teach them a lesson in english for 30 minutes and the lady we taught was awesome!!! we were getting to know her and just asking questions about her family and stuff like that and then she asked us where we were going on our mission and we told her mexico. and she said " oh dormi con un mexicano" and she went on about other stuff like that. k so dormir is the verb for To Sleep and so i thought she said she's slept in mexico but then she said it again and i realized it was the past tense.. so what she actually said was i've slept with a mexican!! hahaha i started laughing so hard when i realized that and then she asked me what was so funny and i told her that i thought of something earlier that day hahaha it was so funny though and then she talked about how when she used to live in california all she used to do was party and drink and do drugs hahah now remember all of this is in spanish and we havent exactly gone over drugs and alchohol and sleeping with mexicans yet hahha so all i could think of to say was "Viva la vida" haha she just looked at me and laughed and agreed hahah she was awesome though. so after teaching her in spanish we gave her the first lesson in english and when we talked about baptism she brought up the point about how most mexicans ( the catholics we will teach down there) will already be baptized and she asked us what we would say to them when they told us that( this was her not being a fake investigator any more jsut a loving hermana) and i said well we gotta let them know that our church has the authority from God to baptize whereas other churches dont in a friendly way. and the whole time i was saying that she was jsut shaking her head and she said congragulate them on their coming unto Christ but let them know they can come closer! so that was very important for me to learn i hadnt even thought about that!

well i love you guys!
