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 • May 31st, 2011

hey family, im sorry to hear about nathan but something that Elder Nelson said came to my mind when i read about Nate. death is like a homecoming, but a homecoming way better than we can even imagine. Im sure Nathan is doin work right now up there in the spirit world and i hope that he can come here and help me out here too :) but i hope all is well with the williams family.

thank you all though for your experiences that you have been having. who translated the letter for you guys haha.

but yeah im in a branch here and there are about 40 people that normally come but this sunday we only had 28. i think that is about it for the questions haha the members here dont realy provide references but if we are lucky we can have 3 lessons with members a week and the lessons with the members are always way better.

umm so this week we found an investigator of pure gold haha we were touching doors (in spanish they use the verb to touch for knock haha) and this muchacha came out and we started talking and when we began to talk about the book of mormon she told us she has read part of it before and that she really liked what she read. she read it in her grandmas house and then when her grandma died Ester(the muchacha) had a really special experience with the spirit and prayer and so when we taught her the doctrine of Christ..... la fe, el arrepentimiento, el bautismo, la recepición del Espíritu Santo, y el perseverar hasta el fin... she loved it and then when we put a baptismal date she said actually i have a question first before i say yes or no, and then she asked us, How can i know which of all the churches is His church? hahaha oh my gosh a missionaries dream come true. so then we taught her the Restauration (sp?) and she was like wow ok im gonna pray like right after you leave haha. but she had to go to chihuahua for work this week and couldnt come to church but she is way cool and i cant wait to teach her tuesday again.

oh my gosh it is so dang hot here haha dayton you have no idea. they tell us that it has been like 40 degrees the whole week haha 40 degrees celcius is a little bit more than 100 Farenheit haha every stinking day!!!!!!! haha its alright though the work is going good.

the Lord is testing my faith right now with like no success but with me giving all i´ve got everyday. but thats how it is right. the real blessings come after this life and thats where and when i´ll know that it was worth it haha. right now i know its worth it too haha i just straight up love the mission. but i love all of you guys so much and thanks for writing every week... oh in the next package you send if you could put a USB in there that would be awesome haha oh yeah i also need the name of the new ward that you are in and the stake i think its just Bismarck North Dakota Stake right? but yeah i gotta go love yal so much
Elder Nunley (Nuñez) all of the members here call me Elder Nuñez because that have such a hard time saying Nunley haha
