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 22nd, 2010

Subject: hoof hearted?

hey family thanks for that super long letter it is always nice to have lots to read i loved it. so i get to see another apostle again today. i really hope it is jeffery r holland he is such a powerful speaker! it feels like i've talked to you guys about everything already though because every night when i write in my journal i pretend like im writing to mom so i feel like you already know everything that's going on haha. i think i'll just stick to writing letters because i really have no idea what to talk about. oh i've been sick for like the past week but i've still been like following the schedule and stuff like when to wake up and all that stuff but my teacher said that if i am really as sick as i look all the time i need to get some more rest. and i really didnt feel like i was that sick but my companion and some of the other elders in my district said it looks like im half alive haha so i wasn't gonna not take adavantage of my teachers advice on getting more sleep so this morning i slept in all the way til 7:30!!!!! hahah it actually felt so good and it seemed more like i slept in til noonoclock. but yeah they have stressed so much on us about obedience with exactness that i just felt like i had to be to class no matter what. but since it's thanksgiving this weekend both of our normal teachers are leaving to see family so we get my two favorite teachers hermano dela cruz and hermano escobar both of them are super awesome and they like only talk spanish with us so we have to learn really fast and they both teach with the spirit SO strongly!! i love it especially hermano dela cruz. he was the one who because his last name sounds native he got put into his spanish speaking mission only three weeks after the mtc haha and he only knew as much spanish as me . so i think he is so hard because he knows we can do it. and he relys on teaching with the spirit so much because he had to when he was on his mission but they are both awesome i love all my teachers they're all cool. i learned this week that in chihuahua they pronounce the ch like a sh so i've been workin on that. well i've got 22 seconds left and nothing else to say. love you elder nunley
