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 • June 6th, 2011

Subject: Re: Did you know it takes longer to drive to ND than to fly to Australia?

hey family! thats neat about nates funeral and that everyone is doing good with it.

sounds like you all want to hear about my new companion so i{ll share a little bit about him. so he is from the biggest city in the world haha Mexico City and he doesnt like at all how the people here talk. he is really cool and we can teach together with lots of enthusiasm but he is really negative haha like its sarcasm but really negative haha he has a lot of patience with my spanish because he answers my questions that i have about spanish all the time but everytime i ask a question he calls me an idiot haha thats the type of sarcasm like i know he doesnt mean it and he is just kidding but imagine trying to learn a new language and everytime you ask a question you get called and idiot and you´re told you dont know anything haha so i talked to him about that and he said he´ll stop hahah but we´ll see about that. but like i was saying we get along really well other than that for real i love him haha he is way cool and im super pumped to work with him a bunch. everyday in our studies together we receive revelation in where we can improve and whats cool is that Most of the time we remember to apply it during the day. i hope that we can be here for a couple months together so that we can get things down pat haha that is one of the down sides of me getting moved around so much haha i´ve never really had my area, i dont know how else to explain it but i think i will be staying here for a while. Ojalá :)

but this week we have had a bunch of success and we have been working with a lot of younger people which is good because the branch needs that haha.

but yeah the Liahona with the conference talks JUST BARELY arrived haha oh my gosh im loving em. i still think that the talk by Elder Scott is the best. and not because it talks about marraige but because he talks about love alot and charity and just doing things for other people and the security that we have in the gospel knowing that familys last much much longer than just this life. i also am loving the talk by Elder Ballard about the little pieces of gold and how we should look for the small examples of love from Heavenly Father instead of the Huge miracles that we sometimes look for. i realized that is also another weak spot in my humility is i like looking for the big things when instead i should be more than content with all of the uncountable smaller blessings that i have that add up to an incredible amount.

MOm you should totally try to learn spanish like that. but im pretty sure that Julie Beck studied spanish too to be able to understand why things are written the way they are. cuz there are a lot of rules and conjugations that will throw you for a loop if you dont study them.

I love you all so stinkin much and thanks for writting me every week and for all that you do.

Elder Nunley

oh yeah in the picture that im sending i bought all those cheetos for 2 american dollars haha for real
