Hey mom who is so beautiful. Its me your one curly haired son. =)

More miracles have happen this week. God is still alive. What a surprise! =)

But first I want to start off on how happy I was on Tuesday this week. We went to a fire side with Rich and Danna who will both be getting baptized soon. But before the fire side We were talking with Donna and she kept having all these questions about the Book of Mormon and baptisms for the dead. Well we already got done answering allot of her questions and we then asked her to come to a fire side on Tuesday. When we asked her I felt prompted to promise her and promised her that if she prayed and asked God the questions she wanted to answered that it would be answered at the fire side (Which was for investigators and recent converts). I was a little hesitant at first to promise this because the fire side was going to be on the restoration and the Book of Mormon. And I knew that her question was going to be on the baptisms for the dead. But I felt prompted to say it so I did. Well we went to the fire side and the spirit there was great. We had another quorum of the 70 come down to our mission. (Our mission has been a hot spot lately.) But slowly after awhile the time kept going by and by and no answer or explanation was going on about baptisms for the dead. I was sitting in my chair starting to get worried and started thinking to my self "man why did I promise that... now she's going to start wondering if our promises even come true. What am I going to say after this?" Then he decided to do a question and answer section for everyone to ask him questions but there was only 20 minutes left. Question after question was coming up and no one was talking about baptisms for the dead. The 20 minutes went by very quickly and there was one final question and then he was going to be done. This lady raises her hand... She got the micro phone and asked..... " doesn't the bible say there should be nothing added to it? Doesn't the Book of Mormon count as adding to the bible?" Noooo! my promise was false. I then began to start thinking about what I would say to her. What should I do... Should I tell her "Well Donna... clearly I wasn't speaking from the spirit... or maybe I could say Blah blah blah! I had no idea what I was going to do." Finally he got done answering that question. But... All of a sudden he allowed one more lady to ask a question. The microphone got to the lady and she asked "Why is it that your church does baptisms for the dead?" Yesss! Thank you. A huge relief went over me. I had to thank God for teasing me and acting like he wasn't going to answer my prayer. The Elder explained it in such away that Donna was finally able to get over that hurdle and decided to move forward with her baptism.

A couple of days ago we taught Rich about The Word of Wisdom. We were a little scared about bringing it up because we knew that he liked to smoke allot. But we learned that he has tried to quit multiple times and has never been able too. And he told us that he would love to try and quit again. After we promised him that he would be able to quit. I told him "Rich if you do this stop smoking program that we have and you follow all the steps I promise you as being a Representative of Jesus Christ that this addiction will go away." He looked at us and he said he would do it. We then asked him if we could give him a priesthood blessing and we explained to him what it was. We then proceeded to give him the blessing and after words on the drive home he said. "You know I really felt something during that blessing. I had so much on my shoulders during the time and during the blessing it felt like all of my burdens were taken off of my shoulders. I'm not sure what it really was" We then explained to him that it was the Holy Ghost.

The Holy Ghost is so real its beautiful. =) I feel like I finally some what understand the feeling of the Holy Ghost. When it comes it allows me to speak boldly. It allows me to speak things that I wouldn't normally say to people. It allows me to feel if someone is bearing a true testimony or not. ( Which I'm not going to lie it helped allot this week. I will have to tell you some more stories when I get home.)

Also I want to mention that after the fire side I got to see some of the people that I taught in Moran Perry (My second area) I saw Sosa there as well as Linda. But as I was talking to them I felt a little tap on the back of my shoulder. I turned around and it was Mark Johnson! (The greatest black man in Spokane) I Was so happy to see him. He gave me big hug and really just made my whole day being able to see him and hear about him and Vickie's baptism. Even before that I got to see Susan this other lady I taught when I was in Moran Perry. She is the gal in one of my my videos on the 2nd SD card I believe before I was sent to Moscow. It was so great being able to see them all again. I was also able to see Elder Smith and Elder Bernard and other great friends that I love. It felt like a piece of heaven and it gave me a reminder of why I was out here. If I was that happy to see them I cant imagine how happy I will be when I see you guys.

Well the time has come to close again. Just know that I am doing well and that I love you. I hope things are going well back home. I miss and love you. I saw one of the young men picking on their mom at church and it made me miss you. I thought to myself " Oh I remember the good times that I got to hug and pick on my mom" So just know that right now you get a short break. When I get back I will be picking on you again. I love you so much.

sorry not much time!

Question 1 - What is funniest thing that happened to you this week or you saw this week?

oh man, did i tell you a bird pooped on my head, then my shoe broke, then my shoe fell in the train tracks, then a woman yelled at my comp, and then i opened a bag of cereal that spilled all over the floor. it is just funny cuz it happened the same day. we did laugh at all of it too...it was one thing after another.

Question 2 - Has it been hard to get along with your companion this transfer?

yes, it has been hard, because she is new and adjusting to the mission, she is a little homesick, physical sickness, the schedule getting up early,, beign with someone all of the time, the strength to be a missionary (walking a lot), and things like that. but overall, we get along good. but she is doing better and we laugh together, which is important :)

sorry! i got to go!

love you lots,

Dear Beautiful Mom that is mine.

We have had a couple miracles this week so I would call this week a pretty good week. =) We are also probably going to be having a baptism this Saturday. Her name is Danna Zietlow and the reason I say that she will "probably" be baptized is because she has been very sick for the past few days and also she has been having alot of hearing problems. But that's also one of the miracles that has happened this week. She asked us to give her a blessing after church yesterday so of course we did so. But during the blessing we told her to be healed according to her faith. When this happen she said that all of a sudden her ears starting cracking inside and her ears were cleared and she was able to hear normally again. After the blessing she was just smiling not really sure of what to say. It was great testimony builder for all of us of the priesthood power of God.

We will also be teaching a couple of new high schoolers this week as well. There names are Robb (boy) and Taylor (girl) that are dating each other. Taylor is a member that is having some trouble with her testimony right now and Robb is not a member but is willing to listen. Well we met the two kids at dinner yesterday at the Welch's and after dinner we usually have a 5-10 minute thought and leave. But not after this dinner... Sister Welch decided that she wanted to do the spiritual thought that day (Which is no problem at all unless they start doing what I'm about to tell that she did.) So we all sit down in this living room and watch this 8 minute video that was made probably "25 years ago" on the plan of salvation. I felt so sorry for Robb. I just wanted to scream and tell him " No Robb are church is not that cheesy and we don't watch these old movies any more" So the whole movie I was just praying that the holy ghost would still be there and that he might feel something. After the video she decided that she wanted to share the whole plan of salvation. So she grabbed a marker board and started to draw Pre- Earth life and started talking about the counsels in heaven in very deep detail. We would try to put a word in every now and then but there was no hope. She was on the loose and she was going to be doing the teaching. She then started talking about a heavenly father and a heavenly mother. After that she started talking about the Law of Chastity with everyone around. I was just praying that god would keep the spirit there over and over again. Each time we would try to keep the lesson on course or change it she would just cut us off over and over again. I honestly don't know how she did it but some how she started talking about the 9 different levels of heaven and how that if you are at the very bottom you can progress up wards. And that if you want to make babies you will be in the Celestial kingdom but if you don't that's ok because god has these other levels where you will just be single. I tried to tell her that that was false doctrine but each time I spat out a word she would go louder and louder. (She was on a rage of some sort. There was nothing stopping this woman.) So I just had to sit quit. She then started talking about how we can become Gods and that we can create worlds and that his baptism didn't count. After that I think she fit in a 30 second story of the first vision. Then some how back to the word of wisdom. The only thing that wasn't mentioned in that whole lesson was the Holy Ghost. ( I think the holy ghost made sure he wasn't apart of any of this.) So instead of trying to explain to him all of the things that she went over I just decided to ask them to come to one of our lessons on Wednesday. Surprisingly they said yes. After something like that I didn't think that could happen. =)

Rich Fraley will also be getting baptized on October 15th. We met him from street contacting a couple of weeks ago and I cant remember if I told you a little about him or not. But he is doing great right now. He went to his first Sunday yesterday and he liked it alot. (Even though they talked about baptisms for the dead and family history + temple work at the very end which made him have some questions) But a couple days ago we decided to ask him why he was being so open/accepting with everything. Reason we asked was because when you usually tell anybody about the Plan of salvation they either have problems with The pre-Earth life or the 3 kingdoms of heaven. But as we taught him he would always tell us " hmmm Well that makes sense." or he would say "ya I believe that to" So we finally asked him " Well Rich... Why do you keep coming to these lessons?" He looked at us and said " I had a friend a couple years ago who I have always looked up too. He never went to anyone's church at all but he would always study the bible and knew it very well. One day I asked him what he thought about the LDS church and when I asked that he told me... Rich that church has a key to heaven. Out of all of the churches in the world that church is the most correct. If you ever get a chance to speak with them make sure you give them a chance and listen to them." So about 10 years later we saw him on the side of the street and started to speak with him about the church and asked if we could take him on a church tour and it just went on from there. Its amazing how god works. His friend moved away though but I wish we could speak with him as well.

Well that's how things are going on here. I love you most beautiful mom =)

That is exciting that i will be coming home Jan 2, 2012, i thought about extending even if i just stayed here in Slovenia just because it would be good but its too late. Its ok though, i will be very happy to come home.

This week was very very good. We went and visited with the Priest guy, he had big meetings every time that we came over so we didnt have a chance to get together with him.

We had a baptism this week, ksenja was baptized, it was so much fun to teach her! She a very excited person and is just a nice lady! The best news about that is members did the baptizing and the comformation! Its good to see that the branch is growing.

Another investigator is coming very very very close to baptism also, the Lord has just been blessing us, we had 3 investagtors at church and we have 2 investigators with a date! I think we have figured ALOT of things about missionary work and the Lord has been blessing us!

This week was very good, i love my mission, but then every once in a while a car will drive by with REAL music and i just want to run next to the car so i can keep listening... lets just say after 2 years of MOTAB i think it is time for an upgrade when i get home! hahaha but dont worry i am suprised i am not too trunky, i am working harder and more smart then i ever have!

love you family!

LETTER: Sister Adrienne Schneider • September 12th, 2011

wow, we have worked really hard this week. We watched finding faith in christ with a lady and her kids, and she absolutely lvoed it! She really doesn´t believe that God loves her. Every time we teach her, teh spirit is so strong, and the spirit really brings the peace. It is crazy! Sorry this is so short! i was looking at pics for most of the time from the wedding!

I love the opportunity to share with people my testimony. I love when I can feel the Spirit and that the Lord loves us, individually. It is good to share that this life is preparing us to meet our Heavenly Father and to develop those attributes of Jesus Christ. He is super mazing! I love what Faith can do! There are so many good things in this world! The gospel is really the only way we can have true happiness, in this life, and forever!!! love you family!

love you!

LETTER: Elder Colton Nunley • September 12th, 2011

hey family, wow thank you so much for sharing your experiences with luke 15 that really meant a lot to me. its amazing cuz i was totally expecting different answers and the ones that you guys gave me are the answers that i really needed to hear.

so i have been reading alot in the bible and something that has really gotten to me are the fariseos (haha i dont remember how to spell it in english) the orthodox jews that always tried prooving Jesus wrong. for example healing on the sabbath or just about any other little thing. They did know the teachings of the gospel very well, they did have all the rules down, they memorized just about everything but they were missing something.. they didnt apply it in their lives, they didnt understand the reasoning behind all of it. for example ¿why do we have the sabbath day? obviously to worship the Lord, do good for others, renew our covenants all that stuff. but when Jesus healed a man who had a limp hand on the sabbath they all freaked out. but why?

something else i love in the bible is chapter 22 of matthew when Christ talks about the Great Commandment. Elder Wirthlin gave an awesome talk about that in october 2007 that one of my ex companions gave me and i read it this week and absolutely loved it. i´m really really striving to apply that and Moroni 7:45 in my life as a missionary. its not easy but for real its so much better. im finally starting to think before saying things haha and i think ¿how am i showing charity for this person? haha its not easy and to be honest sometimes i feel like a goon trying to be overly nice haha but just in this week i`ve seen a change in my life haha. and since you guys loved the homework i gave you last week haha im gonna give you some more. in the last conference there was a 70 that gave a talk about ¿what type of men and women should we be? I say unto you even as I am. i think his name is elder Robin but his talk is absolutely awesome and talks about how we Being and Doing. so i want you to read it and then help me understand what i should do as a missionary. I really really want to be obedient in everything but i dont want to be a fariseo telling everyone else what is it that they are doing wrong haha i hope you understand that. so please give me some tips.

oh so this week one of rey davids friends saw us in the street and came running up to us (he was drunk too so it was pretty funny seeing him run haha) but yeah he came up to us and wanted to talk to us. he saw the huge change that Rey david made in his life and he wants to change too but he had lost hope a long time ago cuz of all the problems he has had. but after he saw everything that david did he has faith again and wants us to help him!!! how awesome!! and he says that his mom and sister and aunt and cousins wanna learn too haha so im super pumped about all that.

but yeah i love yall so much. cuìdense mucho, les amo

i enjoyed those pictures so much! Bryces suit looks way cool, Camon looked was good (Tina looks was nice), Andrew looks like a stud (i love that kid), and Jessie looks OLD, that was crazy i thought she was a senior in High school for sure, I honestly didnt recognize her!!!! And of course mom and dad you guys looked good! also the Billman Family looked way good, I really really miss koda!

ok this is going to be the best email that i have ever sent you guys, so i want to prepare you for it!!!

OK well lets just say that this week i went on an exchange with an elder from Finland and not even kidding every single hour we had a HUGE miracle happen, not like little miracles but HUGE miralces, this week was something that has never ever happened during my time as a missionary. We seriously never had time to eat or sit down, and any time we sat down its cause we were teaching and all we did is teach. not kidding if i counted the crazy things that happened it would be around 25! So i will just tell you some of them!

Ok well on friday we went to visit a pontenial, named Augustin, and i called him and he said we could meet in center, so we did then we sat down and talked for about 5 mins (he is a former priest, and has a huge background with religion), then he said i want you to meet some of my friends... So i was like cool lets go! So we get up and went to this huge catholic church and he asked, "do you have extra BOMs", and we did and so he walked into the church and starts walking up these stairs and in some hallways and he starts rings some bells and stuff, (we were just like really confused cause we just barely met this guy) Well anyways he finely finds this door and he opens it, and in the room was a secretary and Augustin says, "i brought some friends, these mormons have truth and they are from America and Finland." and we were like.... ya that is us, hahaha! Then Augustin says he want to meet with the high priest, (we later figure out he is the 2nd highest priest in Slovenia) and his secretary was like... we will see if he has time. Then he comes back and was like, yes he does have time. So we walk in and talk to this Priest and he was super nice and he actually had alot of questions for us! It was so much fun to get to know him.

Then after we get to know him, i get this idea that we should teach him... but i was like no.... he is a priest, he has his faith, he is a very powerful man in his church..... but then i hurried and repented and said sorry for thinkin that i shouldnt teach him, and that he needs the truth just like everyone else!!! so i tell him we brought a present, and we gave him a book of Mormon. He said he had never seen one before and we started talking about it and bearing strong testimony. Then we taught him about the apostasy and the restoration, and how God and Jesus came to Joseph Smith and restored the truth.... it was a very powerful lesson, he was intensely listening, then we invited him to read 3 Nefi 11, from the BOM and pray about it! It was the coolest thing that ever happened. we werent nervous we were just there to do what we needed to do! At the end he asked my companion to pray!

So this week we will go over and bring him a picture of Christ and ask if he had read the book of Mormon. Or another thing i was thinking if we get to become really good friends it would be fun to study together, we would study about prophets and baptism and lots of good stuff!! Well i was very very thankful for the opportunity to teach him and hope its not the end of that one!

So you have to admit you only hear about stories like that in the movies! hahaha ok well another one for you, well after we went to the priest Augustin was like, wow that was good lets go teach some more, and he says, "i have alot of friends for you guys" so we go to the and get 10 BOMs and we start meeting his friends, he knows EVERYONE, and we gave away all 10 books and got some phone numbers. It was kinda awkward but we survived, he would walk up to everyone and say, " hey (name) these are the mormons missionaries they have truth and he would give them a BOM and tell them to read it, and then we would testify or teach them or get there number. It was so much fun.

SO next thing, well we got with Augustin today, and we were teaching him and he says he knows the BOM is true and so we talked about what that means if the BOM is true!! And we asked him to follow the example of Christ and be baptized, and he agreed. So we gave him a date Oct. 22! And he promised us he will be baptized on that date! Then he asked if he can have some BOMs to give to his friends!

Also this week we have a baptism, her name is Ksenja! We asked her to choose only members to baptise her. She is and is very very excited. She had a problem this week but it got all cleared up and we are very excited!

Also, we have been teaching this kid named Sebaštjan for along time, and he would never agree to be baptized so we talked about why he wouldnt be baptized and it took a 2 hour lesson but we figured out why he didnt want to get baptized, it was something to do with the Law of Chasity and so the next day we taught the law of Chasity and he agreed to live by it!!!! it was amazing the spirit was so strong that Sebaštjen changed his mind and said he wants to change and will do that! So he will hopefully get a baptismal date this week!

Also, Samo has a baptismal date, he improved so much this week!!!!!!!!!!! it is a miracle that he is changing so fast!!!!! he is getting baptized on Oct 15! he also came to chruch!

I could go for about another hour telling you about 2 more stories!

Also we taught 24 lessons, and 3 people at church! THe Lord really did watch over us last week i am still recovering from running everywhere but i think i will survive!

well thanks family!

mom you asked if i need anything for my birthday, i am good, unless.... at Zumies in the mall there is a blue watch with green numbers, i really want it, the only reason i know is cause my comp has one that is white and he said there is the same one but blue and green! hahaha love you family!

LETTER: Elder Brayden Schneider • September 5th, 2011

dang i love that picture of Adri and I so much! that is the coolest thing ever!

ok so you guys are lucky i never write for a long time but this time is way good!!!!!

This week we had miracles like i have never seen before. So i will tell you a cool story well we have an investigator and has a baptismal date next week and last week we were really worried because she hasnt been understanding a couple of key doctines she didnt understand 3 things. 1st.... she has a hard time believing that christ suffered for every single person. 2nd.... that the book of mormon is 100% true (she knows its true but she thinks there is a couple of fairytales in it) 3rd... the restoration of the priesthood! So we planned a really really good lesson and she came and sat down and then she just started crying..... And we hadnt even started the lesson and she just started telling us what was wrong, well she said she drank a cup of coffee and she was trying so hard not to. And just some other things werent going very well. Well anyways we just showed her some encouraging scriptures and stuff and we werent able to teach her the lesson we planned... But after about 30 minutes of just straight listening to her out of nowhere she said, you know what the book of mormon is 100% true and there arent any fairytales in it!! (i was like wow that was really random.... but keep talking) and then out of nowhere about 2 minutes later she said, its amazing that christ suffered for all of us and including me!!! when i heard that i about dropped my book, i was like we havent even taught you the lesson, and all we have done is listened and the holy ghost was there literally teaching her!!! it was an amazing thing! And then we taught her about the restoration of the priesthood and gave her a blessing!!! it was so amazing the lord was humbling her so that she would be ready for her baptismal date! It was definetly one of the biggest miracles i have seen on my mission!

ok now i will tell you the BIGGEST MIRACLE i have seen on my mission. Well we had to go up to Maribor on wednesday for a baptismal interview and while we were up there i got a call for this guy saying that he tried coming into the church but the church was closed, so i told him we dont live in the church and that we would love to get will him tommorow. Well he was like, "i want to change my life, my life sucks and its cause i dont have god" and i was like... ok your right, well what about if we get together tommorow at 11. So we get together with him the next day and he walked in and he looked like a mess, not to be mean but he look like he had devil inside of him, i have never seen anyone so sad and hopeless. Then he said well i just wanted to show up and now i am going. But we were like no... come sit down and we can talk. Well we talked and he was really messed up, he was the saddest i have ever seen anyone and the most lonely and deep into alot of sin. And so we start talking and the whole time he never looked up at us once, just his whole accountance was depressing to see. Well we talked to him and gained his trust and then talked about christ. And he said the reason he hates life is because of all the sinning he does, and we said that chirst invites everyone to repent and that he isnt lost. Well when we said he wasnt lost he looked up and said i hope what you guys are telling me is true, becasue i used to go to church but i stopped because the priest there told me i am going to hell and there is no point in trying. So we said that isnt true and he still has a chance and it will take effort on his side. And we gave him a Book of Mormon and asked if we could get together the next day. He later told us that it took him 7 tries to get to the chruch and that if the church was 1 meter father he would have made it cause he was trying to do what is right but i honestly think the devil was working on him more then normal.

So the next day comes and he shows up to the church when i saw him i honestly didnt recognize him!!!!!!! I saw him he was looking me in the eyes and was holding himself like he had respect for himself and other. And we started the lesson i was just shocked.... and i asked him, what is different today, you are totally different? what is it? and he opens his book of Mormon to 3 Nefi 11 and slightly stooked the page, and said, "this is what changed me!" He read about jesus christ and then he said, "why wouldnt i be happy i am not lost i still have a chance and Christ suffered for me!" i was just in shock... literaly in 24 hours it changed his life, he loved it so much he slept next to the book. He said there is so much power in this book! And he said he had been praying like crazy. Well we asked him if he would start preparing for baptism and he will be baptized on Oct 15! We are going to be working with him alot before then!

Well he ended up coming to church. He actually called me and 4 in the mourning on sunday and asked if i would call him at 8 oclock becasue he had a feeling that he might sleep in and he really really really wanted to come. He came and he loved it!!!

This week was full of miracles!

good stuff!

also we were with the president and i said.. president i heard a rumor that you are going to send your Slovenia Zone leaders down to Bosnia. he just laughed and then i asked him how close it was to being opened he said it will be very soon. Then i said well i know of a missionary that has wished his whole mission to serve there, and that he would extend 6 months if he had the chance to serve there... He just laughed again and said that is good to know. So start praying that the lord will send me there! the good thing is i am on presidents good side! (i also send this letter to him) hahaha

Well love you family!!

LETTER: Elder Colton Nunley • September 5th, 2011

hey family.. i love you guys a bunch.

so this week has been super crazy. i didnt feel like eating tuesday night and i wanted to do a little bit of soul searching and so after planning with elder hernandez and reading a talk from the conference i went outside and just started thinking about everything that the Lord has done for me in so little time it was way cool i had i think about 4 minutes of just thinking and then i got a call from the zone leaders and they told me that my companion and i had transfers...but we both werent going anywhere haha i just laughed and asked him what he needed but he was like no for real. so now there are 4 missionaries here in girasoles(thats my ward) and my new/old companion from the offices(elder quintero) and i are now the zone leaders.. our zone is huge and it includes the missionaries that are all the way out in the mountains but so far its been sweet and we had a conference with the president thursday from 9am to 8pm haha him and all the zone liders haha but yeah so thats new

and today for the first time i played a sport here in mexico..cuz the president has our p days super short but we played basketball and it felt SOOOOOOOO good to run and all that stuff oh my gosh my body just feels so dang good right now haha

but the baptism for rey david was amazing. so so so spiritual. he let me do the honor of baptizing him and i still say that hearing the testimonies of my investigators after their baptism is the absolute best part of the mission. he is such a huge example for me and i know with out a doubt he wil stay strong in the church his whole life.. we still dont have a bishop but our old bishop saw david sunday and came up to us and was congratulated us with our success with him because the bishop knew everything about his life beforehand but yeah an awesome baptism.

so in the scriptures i am studying a ton in mosiah 1 - 5 cuz it talks all about the atonement of Christ. i really want to be able to understand it better. and today i learned alot about the change of heart that we have to have to be able to be called His sons and daughters. i found some awesome scriptures in the book of mormon and in the bible that i liked a lot helaman 14 30 and Ezekiel 11 19 i think but helaman 14 30 is way cool because it is so clear and the Lord straight up tells us I gave you My Son, He suffered for Your sins and if you want to live with Me again Choose the Right!!! haha it doesnt say it like that but when i read that verse thats what i imagine Heavenly Father saying.

So the president has been doing and changing a lot of things so that we can have 100% concentration in the mission and now we have a schedule for that and haha it is definately a schedule that makes us concentrate haha there is hardly anytime for anything else it is so awesome im gonna come back home a complete ñoño (nerd) haha im reading so much and i am totally gonna keep that habit up when i go home.

so i read luke 15 this week and if you all could for family night or something i`d like hear your thoughts about those parables becuase i learned some great principles from them. but i wanna read your comments this next week.

I love you guys so much,

Elder Nunley

oh i got your package THANKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
