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 • March 28th, 2011

Hello Family!!!
How are you all doing?! Sounds like everything is going way good up there. Sounds like you got some sweet missionaries up there. You gotta have Conrad over more so they can teach him. for real if the missionaries are good workers you gotta put em to work on the people who are already ready to listen... like Conrad!! haha for real if there are good missionaries when Spencer Lemer gets back send the missionaries over there right away.. Spencer is totally ready ahh man i think about him all the time and how if i woulda done what i was supposed to he could be out here on a mission right now in the Lord's church! at first i'll be honest i was a little selfish and wanted to wait to teach him until i got home but send the missionaries over there right away!!! haha

oh my gosh the field is so awesome and so are the offices haha. ok so yesterday i woke up at 4:40 and dropped some elders off at the bus station came back and studied and then President came and we had companionship study with him haha it was sweet but then right after that at like 10 i started working on the computer and i didnt finish until 9 o'clock at night haha and then after planning from 9 to 930 i had to make a bunch of phone calls haha it was super stressful yesterday though because the elders that we took to the bus station had to go Juarez and they got checked and they didnt have their stuff with them because we had to send it to mexico city to get it all updated... so they told the american that he had to go back to the united states haha oh man it was so crazy we were all over the place!!

haha but i took a picture of my office i'll upload it with this email. but the sad thing is is that i had to change rooms the President wants my office as a training room so i moved in to a smaller room haha but its still sweet.

ok so i have to tell you some sweet stories about the gift of tounges for real it is ridiculous 2 things ok so the first happened last week when we were contacting in the church and the hermana asked us where we were from and elder soffe said utah and i said the united states too.... but she didnt believe me!!!! haha she thought i was from Mexico!!!! haha how sweet!!?? and then the other one happened a while back we went to lunch with a family i hadnt met and they were getting to know us a bit and they asked me how long i had been in the mission. and i asked them what they thought.. and the hermano said well with your spanish and all i'd say 16 months haha i swear they are hearing things that i am not saying because when i hear myself it doesnt sound that good haha and that is where the gift of tounges comes in.

but lets see what else...... oh i am super pumped to watch conference!! i think im gonna give in and watch it in english though because i want to understand all of it to feel the spirit really strong. Elder Johnson is the Seventy that is in charge of our mission and that would be so sweet if he gave a talk. he is from casas grandes and speaks spanish and english perfectly haha.

i miss delicias so much though it really was like my home away from home. all the cool missionaries and people there...plus i could work outside all day haha but its all good here. i am learing so much so fast. the only bummer is that everyone here in the offices speaks english and they all speak it too much, me included. i gotta start working on only spanish!!

but yeah thanks for the letters and everything Love yall muchisimo!!! alright i have a little bit more time while the foto is loading. but im trying right now to write you all letters but i was only able to get one written this week haha with all the stuff we have been doing but just to let you know im trying. haha but yeah the picture is done i hope you like it haha i sure did!!!!
Cuidense Mucho!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
