LETTER: Elder Colton Nunley • December 28th, 2010

From Digi:

Here is Colton's latest email. It was so good to talk to him today for 5 minutes (it was legal)on the phone. He sounded very good! I guess he'll also get to call us when he knows where he is headed. They told him he could call to let us know his visa didn't come through. He was mixing spanish and english in just about every sentence! He sounds SO good though. Thanks for your prayers in his behalf. Digi

Letter from Elder Nunley

Subject: HOLA!!

jaja so i was actually expecting to get the answering machine when i called you but being able to talk to you was just as good maybe even a little better!! but yeah please pray that where the Lord wants me to go is not here in Utah jaja i would totally still go there and everything but i would much rather go somewhere else. i have a feeling its gonna be Las Vegas!! that would be cool! but yeah they told us that they didnt get our permisos for mexico and that the apostles are on break right now and one of them have to approve of our temp assignment. also the mexican consolate ( or however you spell it) is on a break right now too so basically my temp assingment will be for a while jaja but that is totally cool i wanna get out there and Do Work Son!! Christmas was awesome!! i got to shake Elder Nelsons hand because he was our speaker christmas day and the day after and he gave the talk during a special preisthood meeting and elder cluff was giving the opening prayer so me being his companion got to sit up on the stage with him like 10 feet away from Elder Nelson!!! he is sucha genius!! our opening song was elders of Israel and he talked for 50 minutes about the covenant that the Lord made with Abraham and how its everywhere!!! The Bible the BoM and DyC tambien!! and he'd read one scripture and then be like oh that reminds me of this scripture! and the best part is that he made it awesome it wasn't oober boring! he has so much energy for how old he is jaja he like i dont even know he's just so awesome jaja. but yeah so christmas morning all the elders in our zone came into elder cluffs and my room and we all opened presents together! it was soo cool!!! i'm a little dissappointed in you family cuz you didn't even wake up til 9!!! unreal i would never have allowed that!!! :) but im glad you all had a good one! thank you for the gifts!!! all of them are aweome!! those are definately ties i will wear jaja. oh i told demory i dont know if she told you pero estoy engordando aqui ay ay ay ( im getting fat here) i am sneakin up on 160 now jaja its terrible! but esta bien. hopefully i will be out somewhere tracting (maybe in english EWWW) by the end of next week and that would be so nice!! thats another thing please pray that i am going spanish speaking still jaja we've had to teach in english once or twice here and it is so wierd i dont like it as much as spanish at all!! i just wanna go use my espanol!! OH TIM TAM SLAMS are soo soo soo soo soo soo soo soo good!!! i think suzie showed us tim tams before but we didnt do the tim tam slam its so delish. tim tams are like cookies from australia and they are kinda like oreos in not so many ways jaja but i've got little time to describe. so you bite off two opposite corners and then drink hot cocoa through it and right when you can taste the hot cocoa you throw the cookie in your mouth and it is so delish!!! oh mom you talked about symbolism in the BoM there is one crazy scripture its 2 Nefi 12:2 So read it and its talking about utah right? and the last part is talkin about when the olypics were here! and then in the 2nd 3rd 4th and 5th lines if you look kinda on the right side of the lines if you look at it like a cross word puzzle it spells utah in a straight line down!! so crazy!!! i know its not doctrine or anything or a message from nefi but its still was cool. but still see if you can find it. demory i loved you picture book i thought it was hilarious when you drew how you went to go give mom a hug and totally avoided dad because he knew you were totally over reacting jaja dad i'm diggin the richard idea for the golf store jaja oh one random favor from ya'll could you send me the lyrics to the song All Creatures by Josh Garrells (i'm not quite sure on the spelling for his last name) but it is an awesome song about how we all are creatures of God and we need to praise him i've been thinkin about that song a ton lately yet i dont know all the words!! so i dont have much time left but i will probably write you during laudry or something i gotta get rid of my stamps :) Dad totally take daytn to the windrivers and Peru i enjoyed both so much and i think it his time that he proves himself as a man. especially since he cant prove it in the weight room ;) Amoray thanks for the picture!!!! and thanks to all the presents from everyone!!! i love this work!!
